Key points of this article The McArthur microscope is a portable compound microscope developed in the 1930s by British ...

A compound microscope uses two lens systems in series — an objective that forms a magnified real image, and an eyepiece that magnifies that image again — which is what separates it from a simple ...

A new dual-light microscope lets researchers observe micro- and nanoscale activity inside living cells without using dyes. The system captures both detailed structures and tiny moving particles at ...

Brief history of microscopy -- Definitions, attributes of visibility and general principles -- Simple and compound light microscopes -- Compound microscopes using reflected light -- Microscopy with ...

Engineers have developed a technology that turns a conventional light microscope into what's called a super-resolution microscope. It improves the microscope's resolution (from 200 nm to 40 nm) so ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have shown for the first time that expensive aberration-corrected microscopes are no longer required to achieve record-breaking ...
