Researchers from Regensburg and Birmingham have overcome a fundamental limitation of optical microscopy. With the help of ...

Researchers have shown that expensive aberration-corrected microscopes are no longer required to achieve record-breaking microscopic resolution. Researchers at the University of Illinois at ...

"With such light sources we will be able to see in the optical microscope much tinier things, like individual viruses, or monitor in real time fabrication of nanometer-scale semiconductor chips for ...

Electron microscopy has become a vital tool in structural biology, enabling researchers to visualize biological macromolecules at near-atomic resolution. Recent advances have transformed it from a low ...

Few standard optical microscopy methods can achieve the same level of spatial resolution, which is essential for being able to resolve geometric and structural features on the nanometer length scale.

Engineers have developed an experimental strategy to control and observe the chemical reaction of a single nanocatalyst using an optical microscope -- Expected to contribute to catalyst design based ...

Researchers from Regensburg and Birmingham overcome a fundamental limitation of optical microscopy. With the help of quantum mechanical effects, they succeed for the first time in performing optical ...

How are Electron Microscopes Used? There are a number of electron microscopy techniques, such as cryo-electron microscopy, that are normally used for imaging biological structures. Some of the most ...

(Nanowerk News) The precise control of electron beams in so-called transmission electron microscopes (TEM) makes it possible to analyze materials or molecules at the atomic level. Combined with short ...
