When designing microscopes, optical engineers have long faced a trade-off between speed, field of view and resolution. But ...

Three years after a team of Caltech scientists showed that pairs of entangled photons could double the resolution of a light ...

Microscopes have long been scientists' eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale structures. However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been ...

Neural activity is three-dimensional and fast. Signals propagate through brain circuits on millisecond-to-microsecond ...

New U-STORM imaging technology lets scientists view molecular structures in subatomic detail - about 1,000 times clearer than ...

Researchers have successfully integrated a megahertz-speed optical coherence tomography (MHz-OCT) system into a commercially available neurosurgical microscope and demonstrated its clinical usefulness ...

Researchers at the 4th Physics Institute of the University of Stuttgart and the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in ...

Through-Focus Scanning Optical Microscopy (TSOM) is a non-destructive optical metrology technique that harnesses multiple through-focus images to resolve three-dimensional features of micro- and ...

When trying to measure molecular structures with nanometer precision, every bit of noise shows up in the data: someone walking past the microscope, tiny vibrations in the building and even the traffic ...

Microscopy is an imaging technique that enables us to see a world that would otherwise be invisible to us. Once upon a time, visualizing cells, microbes and other entities not perceptible to the naked ...

Researchers in Germany and Australia have created a simple but powerful tool to detect nanoplastics—tiny, invisible particles that can slip through skin and even the blood-brain barrier. Using an ...
