In this way, and almost by chance, researchers at TU Wien developed a novel microscopy technique that allows the refractive index of biological samples to be measured at a resolution far below what ...

A new method published in Nature Methods removes much of the guesswork and time-consuming optimization from sample ...

The new type of microscope makes light travel in a circle. That way it can interact multiple times with the sample. Everyone who ever took a photo knows the problem: if you want a detailed image, you ...

Researchers built a microscope that captures large, high-resolution images of uneven objects in one shot, aiding diagnostics, research, and quality inspection. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have ...

Electron microscopes are used wherever particularly small details need to be imaged. But from a strictly physical point of ...

Confocal microscopy is a specialized fluorescence imaging technique that scientists use to acquire images at greater resolution than conventional microscopy. 1 In addition to scanning the lateral x ...

Beach sand is more than tiny rocks. Under the microscope, a sample from Australia’s South Coast reveals fascinating details, ...

Everyone who ever took a photo knows the problem: if you want a detailed image, you need a lot of light. In microscopy, however, too much light is often harmful to the sample—for example, when imaging ...
