Infrared (IR) microscopy is a powerful analytical technique for the investigation of chemically and spatially inhomogeneous samples in point-and-shoot scenarios, via scanning spectroscopy approaches, ...

Achieving sub-ångström (<1 Å) resolution in electron microscopy typically requires a high-energy (>30 keV) beam and a transmission electron microscope (TEM) fitted with an aberration corrector and a ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances discusses diffraction-limited visible imaging for large aperture telescopes. The deformable mirror used in adaptive optics can change its surface to ...

ISM is a super-resolution imaging technique that enhances resolution beyond the diffraction limit through pixel reassignment and deconvolution. However, the practical implementation of ISM requires ...

A decade ago, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to a trio of researchers for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy. The announcement at the time stated that the researchers’ ...

High-resolution phase imaging is vital for nanomanufacturing and bioimaging, but is often limited by the trade-off between resolution and field of view. Scientists in China have developed L2-CPI, a ...

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) have unveiled a planar optical device that significantly enhances the capabilities of dark-field microscopy, achieving ...
