Researchers propose a synergistic computational imaging framework that provides wide-field, subpixel resolution imaging ...

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 ...

Cells are tiny, so we use microscopes to see their details. A slide is a thin piece of glass used to hold objects which are examined under a microscope. Peel a thin layer of cells from an onion. Place ...

What is the Diffraction Limit? The diffraction limit is a fundamental barrier in optical microscopy that sets the minimum size of features that can be resolved using conventional light microscopes. It ...

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 ...
