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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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, ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

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 ...
