Neuroscientists have developed innovative objectives for light microscopy by using mirrors to produce images. Their design finds correspondence in mirror telescopes used in astronomy on the one hand ...

The images obtained from confocal Raman imaging provide information for samples with micron spatial resolution. The images are based on molecular structure and are highly sensitive to small changes in ...

Figure 1 (a) Structure of the mesoscopic objective, (b) Aberration distribution of the mesoscopic objective, (c) Wide-field imaging system built with the mesoscopic objective, (d) Laser point-scanning ...

A microscope objective lens produces a real, magnified image of an object placed within the field of view. Before it is observed the image is then magnified again by the ocular lens, also known as the ...

Some species of mussels can see. Scallops, for example, have up to 200 eyes that help them detect predators such as an approaching starfish. However, the eyes of scallops differ significantly from the ...
