Microscopes magnify light. It makes sense that having more light reflecting off of the subject will result in a better magnified image. And so we come to Aziz! Light! It’s [Steve’s] LED light ring for ...

When [Felix Rusu], maker of the popular Moteino boards which started life as wireless Arduino compatibles, says he’s made a wireless ring light for his SMD microscope, we redirect our keystrokes to ...

Easily mounted to inspection microscopes made by Leica, Carl Zeiss, and other leading manufacturers, the RL-9 LED ringlight can illuminate a 2-in. spot with an illumination level of 55,000 lux, ...

Engineers at Duke University have developed a microscope that adapts its lighting angles, colors and patterns while teaching itself the optimal settings needed to complete a given diagnostic task. In ...

Bulbs frequently need replacing, which can be a challenge when accessing the lamp housing of a large confocal system. Moreover, the alignment required after replacing a bulb each time is tricky. LEDs ...

Researchers have incorporated a swept illumination source into an open-top light-sheet microscope to enable improved optical sectioning over a larger area of view. The advance makes the technique more ...

What is Structured Illumination Microscopy? Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM) is a super-resolution fluorescence microscopy technique that allows for imaging beyond the diffraction limit of ...

Top: Random Illumination Microscopy (RIM) utilizes random speckle patterns to achieve super-resolution imaging of biological tissues, improving resolution by a factor of two compared to the optical ...
