Researchers from Regensburg and Birmingham have overcome a fundamental limitation of optical microscopy. With the help of quantum mechanical effects, they succeeded for the first time in performing ...

Researchers from the labs of Professors Vinayak Dravid and Omar Farha developed a high-resolution approach to map ...

By combining two fundamentally different microscopy techniques, researchers can now measure the optical properties of a ...

The findings are significant as infections caused by S. aureus are becoming harder to treat due to rising antibiotic resistance and the lack of an approved vaccine.S. aureus is responsible for a wide ...

Johns Hopkins biomedical engineers unveil Back-Illumination Tomography (BIT), a high-speed microscope that provides unprecedented, real-time views of living tissue to accelerate patient care and ...

Discover why the witec360 Raman microscope is considered the gold standard for correlative microscopy and nanoscale imaging.

(A). Light was absorbed by a leaf and reflected and transmitted from the leaf. The reflect light includes specular and diffuse portion, and this reflect light distribution can be modeled with BRDF (B) ...

Abstract: Accurately parsing (i.e., segmenting and recognizing) muscles of freely-moving animals such as Drosophila larva in light-sheet fluorescence microscopy images is necessary to study the ...

When single-molecule super-resolution microscopes were first commercialized some 15 years ago, they made headlines for their ability to resolve individual molecules and structures at the nanometer ...

Butterfly wings get their color in ways that almost feel impossible. Up close, each wing is made of countless tiny scales that either hold pigment or manipulate light. The oranges, reds, and browns ...

From secret mushroom worlds to extreme close-ups of cell motion, these photographs represent how, in science, things often aren't what they seem on the surface. Reading time 3 minutes What you see ...

Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy—a specialized imaging technique that looks for a change in the color of intense ...
