3D printing can create fantastic objects we’ve never seen before. It can also help create existing objects at a much, much lower cost — thereby democratizing them for an entirely new audience. This ...

In a truly futuristic feat, researchers from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, have built a 3D-printed microscope in under three hours, costing a total of around $60 / £50 / AU$95 – ...

Using parts from Blu-ray players combined with a few 3D printed components Instructables member “ Noselace” has created a fantastic miniature microscope and 3D scanner which can be seen in action in ...

Microscopes afford us the opportunity to look at particles that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye, but these particles can sometimes be masked by gravity. That’s right, the same force that ...

Which compound microscope is best? Anybody who is into science has probably thought about getting a microscope. But with so many different types available, it can be overwhelming to decide on the ...

Researchers have developed a high-speed 3D imaging microscope that can capture detailed cell dynamics of an entire small whole organism at once. The ability to image 3D changes in real time over a ...

Micro CTs generate 3D models from a series of non-destructive X-ray cross sections. The X-ray microscope (XRM) uses optical magnification to enhance the resolution of micro CT. Like electron ...

For over a century, surgeons performing delicate procedures have relied on stereoscopic microscopes to gain a sense of depth. These tools mimic human vision by presenting slightly different images to ...
