Engineers have developed a technology that turns a conventional light microscope into what's called a super-resolution microscope. It improves the microscope's resolution (from 200 nm to 40 nm) so ...

A new type of super-resolution optical microscopy takes a high-resolution image (at right) of graphite "nanoplatelets" about 100 nanometers wide. The imaging system, called saturated transient ...

Swiss researchers have developed a very-high-resolution x-ray microscope. Their approach combines two well-known microscopy techniques, coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) and scanning transmission ...

A new microscope developed at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Research Campus is giving scientists a clearer, more comprehensive view of biological processes as they unfold in living ...

For the past 50 years, electron optics engineers have sought to improve the precision of electron microscopes by counteracting the image blurring effects of lens imperfections, or ‘aberrations’. To ...

The development of STED microscopy has allowed researchers at the Max- Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry to image, for the first time, proteins from single synaptic vesicles, answering ...

Metalenses represent a revolutionary advancement in optical technology. Unlike conventional microscope objectives that rely on curved glass surfaces, metalenses employ nanoscale structures to ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. A journey that began nearly a century ago, when scientists ...

A research team led by Kim Dong-hyun, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Yonsei University, said on the 23rd that it has developed a new imaging technology that ...
