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 ...

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

A comparison of experimental annular dark field (ADF)-scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and electron ptychography in uncorrected and aberration-corrected electron microscopes. In the ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

When trying to measure molecular structures with nanometer precision, every bit of noise shows up in the data: someone walking past the microscope, tiny vibrations in the building and even the traffic ...

A new two-photon fluorescence microscope developed at UC Davis can capture high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution thanks to a new adaptive sampling scheme and line illumination.

A new imaging technique enables atomic-scale clarity with compact, low-energy electron microscopes, making high-resolution microscopy more accessible worldwide. (Nanowerk News) A team of researchers ...
