Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical ...

Engineers from Ohio State University have developed what they say is the world's first microscope lens capable of obtaining three-dimensional images. While 3D microscopy has already been achieved, it ...

Ohio State engineers have made a single microscope lens that is capable of capturing enough angles to form a 3D picture of a object. Soon there could be an all-paramecium version of Avatar. For a long ...
