Researchers at the University of Adelaide, as part of an international team, have developed an approach that makes advanced microscopy possible through an optical fiber thinner than a human hair.

Scientists in China claim to have developed a new type of ultra-thin optical fiber that could improve brain imaging and boost high-speed communications. This fiber, which runs on an optical neural ...

To establish the age, strength and weave of an item, a fiber sample is removed. The material is examined under a polarizing light microscope to see the structure and color of the fiber.

2008). But single-photon illumination can only image cells immediately under the microscope objective and necessitates inserting the fiber-optic objective directly into the brain tissue.

Under a microscope, most of the heart cockle’s shell has a layered ... But within each window, the material of the shell forms tightly packed, hairlike fibers rather than plates, all lined up in the ...

A new hybrid microscope for the first time allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells.
