It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next magnifies the already-magnified image, and so on until it reaches the eye ...

Nanoscopy is a field of microscopy that focuses on imaging and studying structures and processes at the nanoscale, typically below the diffraction limit of light. It encompasses various techniques ...

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) led by Prof. ZHANG Douguo have unveiled a planar optical device that significantly enhances the capabilities of dark-field ...

Optical super-resolution resolves 137 nm features, matching SEM performance and exceeding a standard 100x objective.

Sum-frequency generation (SFG) is a powerful vibrational spectroscopy that can selectively probe molecular structures at surfaces and interfaces, but its spatial resolution has been limited to the ...

Example of super-resolution microscopy: The image shows how the Discrete Molecular Imaging (DMI) technology visualizes densely packed individual targets that are just 5 nanometer apart from each other ...
