THE method described by Bragg 1 for the artificial production of the image of a crystal structure from its X-ray diffraction pattern is of fundamental importance in the subject of X-ray optics. The ...

Optical microscopes typically max out at anywhere between 500x to 1,500x magnification, at which point you need to switch to a scanning microscope to zoom any closer. They come with some functional ...

Laser scanning microscopes are useful for all kinds of tiny investigations. As it turns out, you can build one using parts salvaged from a Blu-ray player, as demonstrated by [Doctor Volt]. The trick ...

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 ...

The dehydration of rat optic nerve has been studied by allowing specimens to become partially or fully dried before fixation and preparation for electron microscopy. A correlation is established ...
