Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical components that enable super-resolution imaging, with each lens costing less ...

Light microscopy is a key tool that scientists use to image cells, organelles, subcellular structures, and molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Because visible light leaves biological ...

Using an approach that combines 3D printing, silicone molding and a UV curable clear resin, researchers fabricated an inexpensive lenslet array, which they used for super-resolution imaging in a ...
