[Birdbrain] is trying to make their own microfluidic devices. To aid in this quest, they need a quality microscope to see what they’re doing. Instead of buying one outright, they purchased a cheap ...

This degree of magnification and resolution is made possible by the use of a Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope, or FIB-SEM. Ordinary microscopes will not produce the same results. Curious ...

It took about six months for the jungle to kill Aaron Pomerantz’s microscope. An entomologist without a microscope is like an astronomer without a telescope, so Pomerantz needed a replacement. Ideally ...

Take a close-up look at a Magic Eraser under the microscope and discover the science behind its cleaning power. See how its ...

Stereo microscopes are very handy tools, especially for a lot of hackers who now regularly assemble, test and debug SMD circuits using parts as small as grains of sand. We have seen a lot of stereo ...
