The National Large Solar Telescope is a 2-m class optical and near infra-red (IR) observational facility in the country to boost the Astronomical Infrastructure in India. Explore the Key Objective and ...

Neuroscientists have developed innovative objectives for light microscopy by using mirrors to produce images. Their design finds correspondence in mirror telescopes used in astronomy on the one hand ...

Welcome to the Tuesday Telescope. There is a little too much darkness in this world and not enough light—a little too much pseudoscience and not enough science. We'll let other publications offer you ...

A project at the University of Zurich has designed an objective for light microscopy based on the reflective principles used in Schmidt telescopes and also found in nature in the eyes of scallops. The ...

So, putting considerable thought into the design, the Austrian optics giant has incorporated its cutting-edge stabilisation system into the structure of a conventionally shaped telescope. In short, ...

Some species of mussels can see. Scallops, for example, have up to 200 eyes that help them detect predators such as an approaching starfish. However, the eyes of scallops differ significantly from the ...
