Nanoscopy is a field of microscopy that focuses on imaging and studying structures and processes at the nanoscale, typically below the diffraction limit of light. It encompasses various techniques ...

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 ...

The technique can see features significantly smaller than prior efforts UK researchers have demonstrated the highest-resolution optical microscope ever - aided by tiny glass beads. The microscope ...

Attempts to break the diffraction limit with 'super lenses' have all hit the hurdle of extreme visual losses. Now physicists have shown a new pathway to achieve superlensing with minimal losses, ...

Scotland's most powerful microscope has been unveiled. It is expected to open up new approaches to treating cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and more. It can see things 10 times smaller than previous ...

What is Single-Molecule Localization Microscopy? Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) is a super-resolution imaging technique that enables the visualization of biological structures and ...

A: The resolution of an instrument that uses light to see things can’t improve beyond a point. This is called the diffraction limit. The resolving ability of, say, a telescope says how well it can ...

To unravel the complexities of biological phenomena, scientists have long relied on microscopy to visualize the intricate details of their specimens, including tissue architecture, cell morphology, ...

UK researchers have demonstrated the highest-resolution optical microscope ever - aided by tiny glass beads. The microscope imaged objects down to just 50 billionths of a metre to yield a never-before ...
