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 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 ...

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 ...

Electrical engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a technology that improves the resolution of an ordinary light microscope so that it can be used to directly observe finer ...

Electron microscopes are used to visualize the structure of solids, molecules, or nanoparticles with atomic resolution. However, most materials are not static. Rather, they interact, move, and reshape ...

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 ...

The University of Delaware's Bio-Imaging Center can now offer researchers a cool, new cutting-edge tool for peering into cells. It's called a "super-resolution" microscope, and only a handful of ...

A team of researchers at the University of Victoria (UVic) have achieved an advance in electron microscopy that will allow scientists to visualize atomic-scale structures with unprecedented clarity ...

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 ...
