The complexity of biology can befuddle even the most sophisticated light microscopes. Biological samples bend light in unpredictable ways, returning difficult-to-interpret information to the ...

have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is usually nearly invisible in optical microscopes because it has no optical resonances. To ...

When trying to measure molecular structures with nanometer precision, every bit of noise shows up in the data: someone walking past the microscope, tiny vibrations in the building and even the traffic ...

Researchers have developed a compact handheld imaging probe that could expand the clinical and research use of photoacoustic ...

The medical technology company ZEISS was the first to introduce a surgical microscope and the first to commercially offer OCT for ophthalmic applications. By merging two gold standards into one system ...

Most people know Nikon as a purveyor of pro and consumer-grade digital cameras. But the company's expertise with optics bleeds over into related markets—it's one of the science community's major ...

(Nanowerk News) 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, ...

New 'zentropy theory' based on quantum mechanics could unlock seemingly impossible electronic devices made with transparent ...

For a number of years, colocalization of fluorescent markers in images has been used to identify colocalized molecular structures, such as proteins. Typically, two different proteins of interest with ...
