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 ...

Nanoscopy is a field of microscopy that focuses on imaging and studying structures and processes at the nanoscale, typically below the diffraction limit of light. It encompasses various techniques ...

Sum-frequency generation (SFG) is a powerful vibrational spectroscopy that can selectively probe molecular structures at surfaces and interfaces, but its spatial resolution has been limited to the ...

First discovered by Ernest Abbe in 1873, the resolution limit of a far-field microscope is considered determined by the numerical aperture and wavelength of light, approximately \(\frac{\lambda }{2{NA ...

Coherent diffraction imaging (CDI) provides lens-free imaging with diffraction-limited resolution and has become an important imaging modality at synchrotron facilities worldwide. The performance of ...

Researchers built a silver-grooved chip that channels laser energy into nanometer-spaced peaks, beating the diffraction limit and aiding light-matter studies. (Nanowerk News) Physics is full of pesky ...

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 research group led by Assistant Professor Takafumi Tomita and Professor Kenji Ohmori at the Institute for Molecular Science, National Institutes of Natural Sciences, has developed a new microscopy ...

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 ...
