The properties of optical stimuli need to be conveyed from the eye to the brain. To do this efficiently, the relevant information is extracted by pre-processing in the eye. Using a novel microscopy ...

The majority of surgeons use magnifying loupes or their naked eye when performing scleral buckling surgery. Complications arising from scleral perforation can, however, compromise the anatomic and ...

To diagnose diseases in people living in remote locations, clinicians have traditionally preferred a low-tech approach because battery-powered electronic devices can be too delicate and fussy for ...

HOUSTON - (Feb. 12, 2020) - You don't need a big laser to make laser-induced graphene (LIG). Scientists at Rice University, the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UT Knoxville) and Oak Ridge National ...

Eye patients in the Koshi Zonal Hospital have not been able to have eye surgeries as the only microscope in the hospital has been damaged for the past three years. An operating microscope is ...

Researchers have developed a way to visualise boron nitride layers that are one atom thick. These ultrathin sheets are ...

Optical microscopy is a technique employed to closely view a sample through the magnification of a lens with visible light. This is the traditional form of microscopy, which was first invented before ...

Hackaday Prize judge [Ben Krasnow] has been busy lately. He’s put his scanning electron microscope (SEM) to work creating an animation of a phonograph needle playing a record. (YouTube link) This is ...

Scientists record the formation of foamy laser-induced graphene made with a small laser mounted to a scanning electron microscope. The reduced size of the conductive material may make it more useful ...
