There are obvious differences between cancerous cells and normal cells in morphology, chemical properties and mechanical properties. The detection of cytochemical and mechanical properties of tumor ...

PiFM and PiF-IR are the next generation of infrared spectroscopy techniques. PiFM brought a major shift to atomic force microscopy by adding chemical mapping capabilities. PiF-IR, its sister technique ...

Semiconductors are an ever-present aspect of life as we experience it today. Application-wise, there are many factors that drive the semiconductor industry. From displays to lighting, data ...

Huge strides have been made over recent years concerning scanning electron microscopes (SEMs and EPMAs), especially when observing and chemically analyzing materials across various fields of interest, ...

Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered by the high density of their ...

The world of laser scanning microscopy is quickly evolving, thanks to the advent of fast and compact detector arrays. These arrays replace the typical single-element detector of traditional confocal ...

Drugs and fibers are among the materials collected in forensic and criminal laboratories. Some of these samples can be quite small, and light microscopes are frequently employed to examine evidence ...
