Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy ...

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

Light field microscopy (LFM) is an advanced imaging technique that captures four-dimensional light information—comprising both spatial and angular data—to computationally reconstruct three-dimensional ...

Introduction to SNOM: The Scanning Near-field Optical Microscope (SNOM) stands as a pivotal analytical tool in nanotechnology, enabling the visualization of nanostructures with resolution beyond the ...

To fully explore the basic mechanisms in life and material sciences, and in other areas, research has gradually moved into the nanoscale using various novel microscopy technologies. Traditional ...

Light field microscopy was first introduced in 2006, and allows users to capture the 4D light field within the microscope, resulting in 3D volumetric imaging with a single snapshot. Data from light ...

As a novel far-infrared inspection method, the development of terahertz (THz) imaging technology has attracted considerable attention in recent years. With unique properties of THz radiation, such as ...

In TIRF microscopy, fluorescent molecules are in a sample in an aqueous environment that is near a solid with a high refractive index, usually a glass coverslip. At what is called the critical angle, ...

Pharmaceutical research involves creation of new drugs or continuous improvement of existing drugs. This versatile research topic is a broad field of study dealing with an increasing number of ...

Electron microscopy is a valuable tool for research and development, especially in the fields of electronics, photonics and material sciences. Modern scanning electron microscopes provide spatial ...

Researchers have reported a sample-prior-based approach to point spread function decoupling that improves system ...

It might seem like a paradox that you want a dark field to see things with an expensive microscope. As [IMSAI Guy] explains, a dark field microscope doesn’t make the subject dark. It makes the area ...
