Scientists at the University of Würzburg have been able to boost current super-resolution microscopy by a novel tweak. They coated the glass cover slip as part of the sample carrier with tailor ...

Optical microscopes are still second to none when it comes to analyzing biological samples. However, their low resolution, improved only in recent years in STED microscopes, continues to be a problem.

The technology turns a conventional light microscope into what's called a super-resolution microscope. It involves a specially engineered material that shortens the wavelength of light as it ...

Simply put, the new microscope can capture even the tiniest cell structures as it has a resolution better than five nanometers. The newly-developed instrument is called a fluorescence microscope ...

The resolution limit on conventional light microscopes is 200 nanometers, which means anything closer than that distance can't be observed as a separate object.

Most 10X - 20X vision applications have until now required microscopes. The new Super Optical Device (SOD-10X) delivers up to 20X magnification without affecting resolution or numerical aperture - ...

A new two-photon fluorescence microscope developed at UC Davis can capture high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution thanks to a new adaptive sampling scheme and line illumination.

UK researchers have demonstrated the highest-resolution optical microscope ever - aided by tiny glass beads. The microscope imaged objects down to just 50 billionths of a metre to yield a never ...

Feb. 23, 2023 — High-resolution microscopy techniques, for example electron microscopy or super-resolution microscopy, produce huge amounts of data. The visualization, analysis and dissemination ...

The microscope imaged objects down to just 50 billionths of a metre to yield a never-before-seen, direct glimpse into the "nanoscopic" world. The team says the method could even be used to view ...
