The exact birth of the scanning microscope principle is not clear, as the work of numerous scientists contributed to its inception. However, it is generally accepted that the first scanning microscope ...

Physicists have designed a framework that allows scientists to observe interactions between light and electrons using a traditional scanning electron microscope. The procedure is considerably cheaper ...

Blu-rays never quite managed to usurp DVDs entirely. Recent estimates, based on data gathered by Nielsen VideoScan and MediaPlayNews, suggest that as of Q2 2022, DVDs still controlled 51.4 percent of ...

Since the first transmission electron microscope was sold in 1935, microscopes that use electrons--rather than light waves--to image objects have brought into focus levels of detail that were ...

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 ...

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The global two-photon laser scanning confocal microscope market is poised to grow by USD 144 million during 2019-2023, progressing at a CAGR of almost 3% during the forecast ...

This degree of magnification and resolution is made possible by the use of a Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope, or FIB-SEM. Ordinary microscopes will not produce the same results. Curious ...

This instrument is an ultra-high-resolution scanning electron microscope capable of secondary-electron image resolution of 1.2 nm. It is fully digital and incorporates an image archiving computer.

A newly-proposed 3D microscopy technique enables rapid 3D image acquisition; branded "One-scan", the method involves an elongated light spot that resembles a "needle" which captures three-dimensional ...

In brief: Even though Blu-ray players have been mostly replaced by streaming and video-on-demand services, they can still serve a purpose. A resourceful YouTuber shows he could turn said player into a ...
