Optical microscopes depend on light, of course, but they are also limited by that same light. Typically, anything under 200 nanometers just blurs together because of the wavelength of the light being ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale ...

What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and ...

Fast piezo and voice-coil nano-focusing systems keep microscopes and metrology tools sharply focused with nanometer precision ...

Recent advances in fluorescence nanoscopy have pushed resolution to the 1–10 nm range, enabling the direct visualization of individual molecules even in crowded biological environments. Achieving this ...

A method for measuring the temperature of nanometer-sized samples within a transmission electron microscope (TEM) has been developed by Professor Oh-Hoon Kwon and his research team in the Department ...

A team has constructed an improved mid-infrared microscope, enabling them to see the structures inside living bacteria at the nanometer scale. Mid-infrared microscopy is typically limited by its low ...

Over the last two decades, microscopy has seen unprecedented advances in speed and resolution. However, cellular structures are essentially three-dimensional, and conventional super-resolution ...

Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy, which has about 100-nm axial excitation depth, is the method of choice for nanometer-sectioning imaging for decades. Lately, several new ...

Fluorescence nanoscopy has transformed our ability to visualize and discover biological structures. In recent years, ultraprecise single-molecule localization techniques such as MINFLUX and RASTMIN ...
