New device could be used to observe structures as small as individual proteins, as well as the environment in which they move ...

Abstract: Plenoptic systems represent a significant advancement in imaging technology, enabling sophisticated three-dimensional image capture with a single exposure. This study presents the ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

When looking through a microscope, the level of detail that is visible isn't just about how much we magnify, but is actually determined by resolution. Resolution refers to the smallest distance ...

Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz Haber Institute have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is ...

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 ...

Combination allows researchers to investigate samples with greater speed, ease of use, and experimental flexibility Oxford Instruments’ Raman imaging team has announced a new core microscope line and ...

Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered by the high density of their ...

Researchers have developed a new microscope that can visualize the optical response of surfaces at an unprecedented spatial resolution of one nanometer. This paves the way for optical microscopy of ...
