Discover the science behind seeing your reflection in water. Light travels in straight lines and bounces off smooth surfaces, ...

Brightfield microscopy has been widely used for hundreds of years, while reflection contrast microscopy is relatively new technology. As one of the earliest and simplest microscopy techniques, ...

Researchers demonstrate a new technique for suppressing back reflections of light, leading to better signal quality for sensing and information technology. Researchers demonstrate a new technique for ...

Reflection-contrast microscopy is a type of light microscopy that can be used to analyze single cells, biopsies, and other small objects. In contrary to most light microscopy techniques, ...

A new method predicts leaf optical properties from traits, improving canopy light modeling and photosynthesis estimates in ...

Light is often thought to reflect from a flat surface at the same angle at which it is incident. Nature Photonics spoke to Han Woerdman about the observation of angular deviations of reflected beams.

A mother and daughter's realization of the different reflection produced by a mirror, despite a visible item not being in front of the mirror, has left the internet confused. In a viral video, the ...
