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 ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Confocal microscopy is a specialized fluorescence imaging technique that scientists use to acquire images at greater resolution than conventional microscopy. 1 In addition to scanning the lateral x ...

PEEM emerges as a key tool for imaging ultra-confined optical fields, offering high sensitivity and minimal disturbance, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) is an advanced in vivo tissue imaging technique that combines optical and acoustic approaches to overcome the optical diffusion limit. It can produce images with great ...
