Electrical engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a technology that improves the resolution of an ordinary light microscope so that it can be used to directly observe finer ...

A light-powered microscope has a resolution limit of around 200 nanometers—which makes observing specimens smaller or closer together than that all but impossible. Engineers at the University of ...

Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale structures. However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been ...

The DeepInMiniMicroscope developed by UC Davis electrical engineering professor Weijian Yang combines optical technology and machine learning to create a device that can take high-resolution ...

Microscopy is an essential tool in many fields of science and medicine. However, many groups have limited access to this technology due to its cost and fragility. Now, researchers from the ...
