A new ultrasonic test method can acquire high-resolution shale data in the lab by using new geometries for sample testing with specialized equipment suited for measuring shale formations at reservoir ...

A new hybrid pneumatic–mechanical sample shuttle moves NMR tubes between high and low magnetic fields at up to 27 meters per ...

Although cryo-electron microscopy is a powerful method for determining the structures of nanoparticles and biological molecules, it still faces challenges. For example, sample movement can cause image ...

Researchers built a microscope that captures large, high-resolution images of uneven objects in one shot, aiding diagnostics, research, and quality inspection. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have ...

16S sequencing is used to detect and examine bacteria according to the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene present in prokaryotic organisms. Amplifying and sequencing this gene can help researchers contrast ...

Over 50 years ago, the first commercially available SEM was unveiled. Yet, to this day no internationally accepted standard exists for the determination of SEM resolution. Further, to confuse matters ...

Fluorescence microscopy uses fluorescent dyes or proteins to label specific structures within a sample. When exposed to light of a particular wavelength, these fluorophores emit light at a longer ...

The microscope combines a big telecentric photolithography lens with a large tube lens to create sharp, detailed images of large and curved samples. These lenses project the image onto a flat array of ...
