Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz Haber Institute have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is ...

The unique properties of quantum physics could help solve a longstanding problem that prevents microscopes from producing sharper images at the smallest scales, researchers say. The breakthrough, ...

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 ...

Microscopy is an imaging technique that enables us to see a world that would otherwise be invisible to us. Once upon a time, visualizing cells, microbes and other entities not perceptible to the naked ...

The demand for disposable miniature imaging platforms (DMIPs) is growing rapidly. Used for commercial, scientific, medical, and educational purposes, DMIPs have numerous applications but can be ...

What is the Diffraction Limit? The diffraction limit is a fundamental barrier in optical microscopy that sets the minimum size of features that can be resolved using conventional light microscopes. It ...

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 ...

Not all defects are visible with the same microscope. Explore how resolution, contrast, and signal interpretation shape ...

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 ...

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 ...
