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 ...

Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM) reconstructs a super-resolution fluorescence image by combining precise localization information for individual fluorophores in complex fluorescent ...

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 ...

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 ...

Electron microscopy has allowed scientists to see individual atoms, but even at that resolution not everything is clear. A team of researchers from both Cornell and the University of Chicago have ...

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 ...

Super resolution: image taken using the new chip. (Courtesy: Bielefeld University / Robin Diekmann) A photonic chip that allows a conventional microscope to work at nanoscale resolution has been ...

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

CrestOptics S.p.A., a manufacturer of high-end microscopy solutions and advanced systems for fluorescence microscopy and diagnostic applications, has been recognised as developing one of the ten best ...

This story originally featured on Popular Science. A journey that began nearly a century ago, when scientists invented the first electron microscope, has taken yet another step. “This is the ...
