Nanoscopy is a field of microscopy that focuses on imaging and studying structures and processes at the nanoscale, typically below the diffraction limit of light. It encompasses various techniques ...

Attempts to break the diffraction limit with 'super lenses' have all hit the hurdle of extreme visual losses. Now physicists have shown a new pathway to achieve superlensing with minimal losses, ...

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next magnifies the already-magnified image, and so on until it reaches the eye ...

What is Single-Molecule Localization Microscopy? Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) is a super-resolution imaging technique that enables the visualization of biological structures and ...

This article explores LIG’s SMAL lenses, including their design principles, manufacturing methods, and performance in ...

Researchers have developed a new measurement and imaging approach that can resolve nanostructures smaller than the diffraction limit of light. After light interacts with a sample, the new technique ...

A research group led by Assistant Professor Takafumi Tomita and Professor Kenji Ohmori at the Institute for Molecular Science, National Institutes of Natural Sciences, has developed a new microscopy ...

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) led by Prof. ZHANG Douguo have unveiled a planar optical device that significantly enhances the capabilities of dark-field ...

Standard optical microscopes have surrendered their once dominant position at the forefront of scientific research to more advanced tools. As we delve deeper into the microscopic world, photons just ...

In this article, we look at some of the key developments of various microscopy techniques over the last few years and how they have benefitted different areas of research and development. The impact ...
