Shining intense laser pulses on an electron beam in an electron microscope corrects electron-optical spherical aberration, paving the way to using light to improve electron microscopy imaging. Yet, ...

Intravital fluorescence microscopy is hampered by optical aberrations arising from heterogeneous distributions of the refractive index. Adaptive optics (AO) methods are either costly and slow, ...

A comparison of experimental annular dark field (ADF)-scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and electron ptychography in uncorrected and aberration-corrected electron microscopes. In the ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale ...

A stained breast cancer sample was imaged using red, green, and blue LEDs. A new computational microscopy technique developed at Caltech, called APIC, was used to reconstruct the detailed color image ...

Optical microscopes are indispensable research tools in fields such as life sciences, medical science, and materials science. The objective lens is the core component of the microscope, determining ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have shown for the first time that expensive aberration-corrected microscopes are no longer required to achieve record-breaking ...

Researchers have developed a unique shape-tunable mirror that can change shape to optimally channel X-rays. It is composed of a single crystal of lithium niobate. This new technology offers the ...

When using a measurement microscope, users can measure the size and dimensions of sample features in both two and three dimensions, which is important for inspection, quality control (QC), failure ...

For hundreds of years, the clarity and magnification of microscopes were ultimately limited by the physical properties of their optical lenses. Microscope makers pushed those boundaries by making ...

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 ...

A new computational microscopy technique solves for true high-resolution images without the guesswork that has limited the precision of other techniques. For hundreds of years, the clarity and ...
