Plant Research Under the Microscope: Imaging Trichomes, Stomata, and Leaf Microstructures
Feb 27th 2026
Plants may appear simple from a distance, but under magnification they reveal an intricate world of specialized cells and structures. From defensive hairs to microscopic pores that regulate gas exchange, the surface of a leaf is a complex and highly organized system. Modern microscopy allows researchers, educators, and growers to explore these features in remarkable detail.

Stereo Microscope Requirements for High Magnification Inspection in Additive Manufacturing & 3D Printed Microstructures
Feb 20th 2026
Additive manufacturing (AM) and micro‑scale 3D printing have unlocked designs that traditional machining can’t touch; lattice structures, microfluidic channels, conformal cooling, and ultra‑fine surface textures engineered for performance. But the same complexity that makes these parts valuable also makes them harder to inspect.
Whether you’re reviewing layer lines on polymer prints, c
