Researchers have developed a new microscope that can visualize the optical response of surfaces at an unprecedented spatial resolution of one nanometer. This paves the way for optical microscopy of ...

Super-resolution methods differ in the spatial and temporal detail they can capture, as well as the demands they place on the ...

Neural activity is three-dimensional and fast. Signals propagate through brain circuits on millisecond-to-microsecond ...

Understanding the interaction between light and matter at the smallest scales (angstrom scale) is essential for advancing technology and materials science. Atomic-scale structures, such as defects in ...

To unravel the complexities of biological phenomena, scientists have long relied on microscopy to visualize the intricate details of their specimens, including tissue architecture, cell morphology, ...

When designing microscopes, optical engineers have long faced a trade-off between speed, field of view and resolution. But ...

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 ...

Even those who maintain that super-resolution microscopy is a powerful tool of biological discovery have admitted that it may have a bit of an image problem. For example, in a recent review, several ...

Ultrasound examination has become a key tool in clinical diagnosis due to its safety, non-invasiveness, lack of ionizing radiation, and ease of use. However, traditional ultrasound imaging faces a ...

When single-molecule super-resolution microscopes were first commercialized some 15 years ago, they made headlines for their ability to resolve individual molecules and structures at the nanometer ...
