Researchers have demonstrated that consumer-grade 3D printers and inexpensive materials can produce advanced optical ...

A project at the University of Strathclyde has now shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical components that enable super-resolution ...

Scientists have unveiled a new way to capture ultra-sharp optical images without lenses or painstaking alignment. The ...

The ability to see invisible structures in the human body, such as the inner workings of cells, or the aggregation of proteins, depends on the quality of the microscope employed. Ever since the first ...

A new lens-free imaging system uses software to see finer details from farther away than optical systems ever could before.

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

CrestOptics S.p.A., a manufacturer of high-end microscopy solutions and advanced systems for fluorescence microscopy and diagnostic applications, has been recognised as developing one of the ten best ...

Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM) reconstructs a super-resolution fluorescence image by combining precise localization information for individual fluorophores in complex fluorescent ...

In decades past, researchers and scientists have been constrained by an optical resolution limit—defined over 140 years ago—that established the maximum resolution of an optical system of 200 nm in ...
