The Wolfson Bioimaging Facility offers a few ways to achieve fluorescence imaging below the 200nm resolution limit of conventional light microscopes. Although broadly termed ‘super-resolution’, these ...

Modern microscopes opened up the world of the minute to an amazing degree, allowing people to see all the way down to a bacterium wriggling on a slide. But if you want to see down even smaller in ...

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 ...

Overcoming the resolution limit in a light microscope of around half a wavelength of light (about 250 nanometers) is one of ...

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 ...

Researchers propose a synergistic computational imaging framework that provides wide-field, subpixel resolution imaging without added optical complexity via a metalens-transformer design. They ...

When it comes to quantum technologies, computing has dominated headlines around the world. Computers that exploit the laws of quantum mechanics are significantly faster for several classes of problem ...

The 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to a trio of researchers for improving the resolution of optical microscopes. Eric Betzig, Stefan Hell and William Moerner used fluorescence to ...

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 ...
