Traditional ultrasonic imaging systems usually transmit broadband ultrasonic pulses through the full sample volume under study. By analyzing these pulses, researchers can measure sample thickness, ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Microscopes are of three basic types: optical, electron (or ion), and scanning probe. The modern optical or light microscope was developed in the mid-19th century. Optical microscopes use transparent ...
