Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical components that enable super-resolution imaging, with each lens costing less ...

The 3D micro-device consists of a modified coverslip and a micro-sphere fabricated by advanced MPL. It can enhance the lateral resolution beyond what is achievable with conventional optics. Today, ...

Integrating deep learning in optical microscopy enhances image analysis, overcoming traditional limitations and improving ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Researchers in Purdue University’s College of Engineering are developing patented and patent-pending innovations that make 3D microscopes faster to operate and less expensive to ...

Liming Chen, who will earn his PhD in mechanical engineering from Purdue in May 2024, operates a 3D microscope, which uses an optical technique called fringe projection to create a high-resolution 3D ...

A project at the University of Strathclyde has now shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical components that enable super-resolution ...

Researchers have developed a technique to fold glass sheets into microscopic 3D photonic structures directly on a chip—a process they call photonic origami. The method could enable tiny, yet complex ...

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 ...

Multi-photon lithography and optical tweezers are among the tools driving a new generation of 3D printing that will allow multifunctional devices to be fabricated in a single processing step, explain ...
