Stanford researchers at the Prakash Lab have developed Octopi, a low-cost ($250-$500) and reconfigurable autonomous microscopy platform capable of automated slide scanning and correlated bright-field and fluorescence imaging.
Stanford researchers at the Kasevich Lab have prototyped a multi-pass electron microscope that can image nanometer scale samples including electron damage sensitive proteins and other electron dose sensitive nanostructures with low damage.
Stanford researchers have invented a C-Aperture Nano-Tip which provides a new way to further enhance the optical resolution down to smaller than 15 nm.
