Scientists achieve optical measurements at atomic scales using quantum electron tunneling, surpassing conventional microscopy limits by nearly 100,000 times with standard lasers. (Nanowerk News) From ...

The resolution of the microscope is limited by the physics of light and the system itself, so the instrument can only detect the sum of these individual contributions—their combined brightness. Like ...

A decade ago, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to a trio of researchers for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy. The announcement at the time stated that the researchers’ ...

Example of super-resolution microscopy: The image shows how the Discrete Molecular Imaging (DMI) technology visualizes densely packed individual targets that are just 5 nanometer apart from each other ...

Advanced light microscopy techniques are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in diseases Katarina Zimmer, Knowable Magazine Innovative techniques are helping ...

Light microscopy is a cornerstone in life sciences technology, having experienced considerable diversification since its inception. This development becomes visible when considering the distinctive ...

Scientists developed a new microscope based on Brillouin scattering -- a phenomenon where light interacts with naturally occurring thermal vibrations within materials, from which their mechanical ...

Even those who maintain that super-resolution microscopy is a powerful tool of biological discovery have admitted that it may have a bit of an image problem. For example, in a recent review, several ...

Imagine you’re sitting at a pond, listening to the din of croaking frogs. You want to know how many frogs are in the pond, but you can’t pick out the individual croaks—only the combined sound rising ...
