The optical microscope relies on light and consists of two main lenses: • The objective lens, which magnifies the object you wish to observe (with various magnification options). • The eyepiece, which ...

Researchers have created an optical lens that can be placed on an inexpensive smartphone to magnify images by a magnitude of 120, all for just 3 cents a lens. Researchers at the University of Houston ...

The new imaging idea exploits the recently predicted 10,11 and observed 12 effect of optical super-oscillation. The key element of this new super-resolution technology is a super-oscillatory lens (SOL ...

Researchers have redesigned the concept of a microscope, by removing the lens, to create a system small enough to fit in the palm of a hand, but powerful enough to create 3-D tomographic, or sectional ...

recording condition for three angles, 50°, 0°, and −50°, respectively. (B1–B3) Cropped images from corresponding superresolved holograms of 5 μm beads (at z ¼ ∼0.8 mm) measured at illumination angles ...

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next magnifies the already-magnified image, and so on until it reaches the eye ...

Researchers have come up with a microscopic microscope, tiny enough to fit on a fingertip, that can be cheaply mass-produced and used to scan blood and water for pathogens. The high-resolution ...

WASHINGTON: Researchers from the University of Houston have created an optical lens that can be placed on smartphone to magnify images and provide schools and clinics a low-cost alternative to the ...

A new generation of optical lenses is being developed and tested at multiple universities and companies worldwide. These lenses, known as metalenses, are silicon films a thousand times thinner than a ...
