Researchers have discovered how bacteria break through spaces barely larger than themselves, by wrapping their flagella around their bodies and moving forward. Using a microfluidic device that mimics ...

KCL Department of Biophysics: glass and acetate slides ('quarter plates', 'whole plates' and 'half plates') relating to the work of the Medical Research Council (MRC) Biophysics Research Unit (KCL ...

This is a valuable study and a promising development for the field of open-source microscopy for educational purposes. The strengths include the low cost of constructing the microscope, impressive ...

Have you ever needed to measure something super precisely, down to a tiny fraction of a millimeter? When that level of precision is required, it’s time to pull out the micrometer screw gauge. This ...

Manual micrometers are easy-to-use and can provide measuring accuracies of ~ 0.01 mm. However, a micrometer screw gauge is not accurate enough for many applications. Instead, for very high accuracy ...

Electrophysiology using microelectrodes has been used for understanding brain circuits, thereby making significant contributions to neuroscience. These electrodes should be miniaturized to <10 µm to ...

Extracellular electrophysiology has been widely applied in neural network studies. Local field potentials and single-unit activities can be recorded with high-density electrodes, which facilitate the ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

The manual-focus Milvus range offers all-metal dust- and splash-proof construction, large rubberized focus ring, smooth manual focus control, as well as engraved focus distance and depth-of-field ...

For future micro- and nanotechnologies, the manufacturing of miniaturized, functionalized, and integrated devices is indispensable. In this paper, an assembly technique based on a bottom-up strategy ...
