3-D images of a virus at half-nanometer resolution

U.S. researchers have used a new technique named cryo-EM (short for 'Electron cryomicroscopy) to capture images of a virus at a resolution of 4.5 angstroms -- less than half of a nanometer. As said the lead researcher, 'This is the highest resolution ever achieved for a living organism of this...

Quick Photo Resizer 2.6.2.1 (Windows)

Modern digital cameras produce images with up to 6 times higher resolution than their ancestors. While the resolution is very important to photo-printers, such resolution can be a severe drawback for on-screen and Internet viewing. This is why, before uploading your images to the Web or sending them via e-mail,...

Magnetic resonance imaging in color?

Magnetic resonance imaging MRI is a technology widely used in medical applications. But so far, all the images of what is inside our bodies produced by MRI are just black and white. Now, a U.S. research team is developing injectable micromagnets which could bring color to MRI pictures. The researchers...

Cellphones used for medical imaging?

A team of engineers at the University of California at Berkeley has developed a technique for transmitting medical images via cellphones. This potentially could bring medical imaging to the 'three-quarters of the world's population which has no access to ultrasounds, X-rays, magnetic resonance images, and other medical imaging technology.' The...

Lensless camera for nanoscale imaging

Australian and U.S. scientists have developed a lensless camera which uses X-rays to view nanoscale materials and biological specimens. As says one researcher, 'there is no lens involved at all; instead, a computer uses sophisticated algorithms to reconstruct the image.' Future microscopes equipped with these lensless cameras could be used...

3-D imaging with FINCH

Holography offers a way of creating complete 3-D images of samples, but requires mechanical scanning of laser beams. But two researchers have invented a new technology called FINCH (short for 'Fresnel incoherent correlation holography.' According to them, FINCH can make 3-D imaging quicker and more accurate. Their FINCHSCOPE, a 3-D...
