A microscope small enough to be mounted to the head of a freely moving mouse makes it possible to watch brain cell activity and whole animal behaviour simultaneously in mice. The device offers ...

Head-mounted device on free-moving mice reveals how regions of the brain interact. Researchers from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering and Medical School have ...

Working with mice, a team of Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers has developed a relatively inexpensive, portable mini microscope that could improve scientists' ability to image the effects of cancer, ...

Researchers from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering and Medical School have developed a unique head-mounted mini-microscope device that allows them to image ...

Device that could scan blood and water for pathogens combines the chip technology found in digital cameras with microfluidics, the science of channeling liquid on a tiny scale. Leslie Katz led a team ...

May 21, 2009 The world unseen, or barely seen, by the naked eye is full of mystery and surprise. For many professions, however, it's also part of the job. People employed to inspect printed circuit ...

A miniature head-mounted microscope, designed for use on rats, could monitor activity in individual brain cells, says the US team that developed it. The technological breakthrough should, for example, ...

Step aside, Fitbit. Data-driven fitness gadgets have nothing on this: A tiny, wearable microscope catches glimpses of muscles in action. The mini microscope, described in the Dec. 16 Neuron, can track ...

Even when cancer surgery goes well, it’s far from guaranteed that all the cancer has been removed. The excised tumor is sent to a pathology lab, which analyzes it under a microscope to estimate how ...

Working with mice, researchers have developed a relatively inexpensive, portable mini microscope that could improve scientists' ability to image the effects of cancer, stroke, Alzheimer's disease and ...
