The technology consists of a microscope slide that's coated with a type of light-shrinking material called a hyperbolic metamaterial. It is made up of nanometers-thin alternating layers of silver ...

While the original electron microscope arrived in the early 1930’s (there’s still a controversy to this day over who invented the very first one), scientists have relied on what are known as ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Science; DOI 10.29026/oes.2023.230018 discusses a smart palm-size optofluidic hematology analyzer.

Researchers have incorporated a swept illumination source into an open-top light-sheet microscope to enable improved optical sectioning over a larger area of view. The advance makes the technique ...

Usually, light microscopes are used by scientists to see live cells, but they cannot be used to visualize really small things. For example, a regular microscope can have a resolution limit of 200 ...

Spatial Resolution: Conventional optical microscopes cannot resolve structures smaller than approximately half the wavelength of the illuminating light.For visible light (400-700 nm), this translates ...
