Advanced light microscopy techniques are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in ...

Scientists have mapped individual sugar molecules on the surface of cells at a resolution once thought to be impossible for ...

Atomic-scale detail is now possible with photons, thanks to a cooled-down silver tip and a clever use of plasmonics.

Breakthrough imaging technique at Caltech captures molecular motions in real-time, revolutionizing microscopy and scientific ...

Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, ...

Ghost imaging is like a game of Battleship. Instead of seeing an object directly, scientists use entangled photons to remove ...

Conventional light microscopes have a resolution limit of 200 nanometers, meaning that any objects closer than this distance will not be observed as separate objects.

Most conventional light microscopes have a resolution of 200 nanometers – this means that imaged objects which are any closer together won't be seen as separate items. A new high-tech microscope ...

Engineers have developed a technology that turns a conventional light microscope into what's called a super-resolution microscope. It improves the microscope's resolution (from 200 nm to 40 nm) so ...
