But unlocking these extreme wavelengths opens up a potential way to get past the resolution barrier that caps optical microscopes at a maximum magnification of about 1,000 times. While the optics ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a new microscope that can visualize the optical response of surfaces at an unprecedented spatial resolution of one nanometer. This paves the way for optical microscopy of ...

UC Davis researchers have created a miniaturized microscope for real-time, high-resolution imaging of brain activity in mice.

Previous articles in the Test & Measurement World Basic Microscopy Series 1 dealt with the optical engineering concepts that microscope designers use to create products. Many of the optical parameters ...

Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM) reconstructs a super-resolution fluorescence image by combining precise localization information for individual fluorophores in complex fluorescent ...
