Most conventional light microscopes have a resolution of 200 nanometers – this means that imaged objects which are any closer together won't be seen as separate items. A new high-tech microscope slide ...

A new microscopy technique allows scientists to see single-atom-thick boron nitride by making it glow under infrared light.

Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz Haber Institute have found a new way to image ...

Advanced light microscopy techniques are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in diseases Katarina Zimmer, Knowable Magazine Innovative techniques are helping ...

It is the computational processing of images that reveals the finest details of a sample placed under all kinds of different light microscopes. Even though this processing has come a long way, there ...

Engineers have developed a technology that turns a conventional light microscope into what's called a super-resolution microscope. It improves the microscope's resolution (from 200 nm to 40 nm) so ...

Researchers have combined two microscopic imaging techniques in one microscope, providing scientists with a high-resolution method of tracking single molecules in a cellular context. The development ...

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next ...

Researchers have developed a way to visualise boron nitride layers that are one atom thick. These ultrathin sheets are ...
