Researchers at the University of California are working on a technology that is able to enhance the resolution of a standard light microscope, allowing it to directly view finer structures and details ...

IN letters published in NATURE (September 1, 1921, p. 10; February 16, p. 205, and May 27, 1922, p. 678) on the above-mentioned subjects, I gave an estimate of the limit of microscopic resolving power ...

The world's most advanced light microscopes allow us to see single molecules, proteins, viruses and other very small biological structures -- but even the best microscopes have their limits. Now ...

Scientists design an optical microscope that overcomes the trade-off between field-of-view and resolving power. Called an Adaptive Scanning Optical Microscope (ASOM), the Rensselaer design combines a ...

The latest aberration-corrected electron microscopes can resolve individual atom columns in a silicon crystal that are just 78 pm apart. How many students are told, perhaps during their first science ...

Optical microscopy is a very useful technique to examine the appearance of a sample with greater detail, but there are some limitations that provide a boundary to its use in practice. Cross section of ...
