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 ...

Microscopes are valuable tools used in biological research. Traditionally scientists have used electron microscopes to clearly see subcellular structures or light microscopes to observe whole living ...

Metalenses represent a revolutionary advancement in optical technology. Unlike conventional microscope objectives that rely on curved glass surfaces, metalenses employ nanoscale structures to ...

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 ...

Electron microscopy has allowed scientists to see individual atoms, but even at that resolution, not everything is clear. The lenses of electron microscopes have intrinsic imperfections known as ...

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 built a microscope that captures large, high-resolution images of uneven objects in one shot, aiding diagnostics, research, and quality inspection. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have ...

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 ...
