A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

With the scanning electron microscope (SEM), scientists in a range of fields—from biology to materials science to microelectronics—can analyze the surface of objects with a resolution approaching ...

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 ...

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 more ...

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

A microscope’s job is to magnify the minuscule world around us. We can observe the tiniest objects, organisms and materials, and investigate their form, texture and composition, to witness what would ...
