Your phone is essentially a portable petri dish. Think about everywhere you take it-the gym, the kitchen, and yes, the bathroom-and then consider that it spends half its life pressed against your face ...

What are the finer points of cleaning your lens? For Film Cameras? I've been shooting for over 10 years and this is what I've learned. If you like this, be sure to check out my series called Retro ...

Over on YouTube [Applied Science] shows us how to make an f/0.38 camera lens using an oil immersion microscope objective. The f-number of a lens indicates how well it will perform in low-light. To ...

Some might argue that mobile phone technology has altered the course of human history in ways that we may never fully be able to quantify. Apart from the instant connection provided by phone, text, ...

In the continuous evolution of optical technology, stress-free objective lenses have emerged as a prominent solution, notably for advanced polarized light microscopy. These lenses are designed to ...

A global leader in agricultural genetics sought durable, economical UV microscope objectives. Issues in meeting these objectives included optical design complexity, wavefront control, and fabrication ...

Photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) is an advanced in vivo tissue imaging technique that combines optical and acoustic approaches to overcome the optical diffusion limit. It can produce images with great ...

Ghost imaging is like a game of Battleship. Instead of seeing an object directly, scientists use entangled photons to remove the background and reveal its silhouette. This method can be used to study ...
