Optical microscopes depend on light, of course, but they are also limited by that same light. Typically, anything under 200 nanometers just blurs together because of the wavelength of the light being ...

Technique allows better imaging of microdroplets; method being used to analyze plastic nanoparticles and in virus assaying. Microscopy of microdroplet volume and nanoplastic concentration. Measuring ...

Sneezes, rain clouds, and ink jet printers: They all produce or contain liquid droplets so tiny it would take several billion of them to fill a liter bottle. Measuring the volume, motion and contents ...

A single flat metalens now handles both excitation and fluorescence collection for diamond quantum sensors, enabling nanoscale sensing in spaces too tight for conventional optics.

This article discusses how optical microscopy is used in analyzing, visualizing and imaging nanomaterials as well as its limitations and recent studies related to optical microscopy utilization in ...

Using light to measure ever-smaller objects has been central to progress in many scientific disciplines for centuries. As far back as 1873, German physicist Ernst Abbe proved that light diffraction ...

Microscopes are an important tool in biomedical research as it allows for detailed observation and imaging of tissues. Since biological materials are opaque by their nature, severe light scattering ...

News article “New Optical Technology Boosts Laser Scanners’ Reach" UC Santa Barbara researchers have designed and built a device that expands the ability of laser scanners to create rapid, ...

Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: electrical conductivity, magnetism, or novel quantum effects. Anyone aiming to ...

A new imaging technology uses polarized 'optical vortices' to provide a detailed, dynamic view of molecules in motion. Understanding the nitty gritty of how molecules interact with each other in the ...
