Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale structures. However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been ...

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 ...

A new microscopy technique allows scientists to see single-atom-thick boron nitride by making it glow under infrared light.

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 ...

Non-invasive microscopic techniques such as optical coherence microscopy and two-photon microscopy are commonly used for in vivo imaging of living tissues. When light passes through turbid materials ...

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 ...

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 ...

In the field of materials characterization, optical microscopy is one of the most commonly used imaging techniques. It is estimated that the diffraction limit of optical light is half of the ...

Enhance your microscopy with high-performance objective lenses designed for precision imaging across scientific, industrial, and lab applications. Shanghai Optics’ microscope objective lenses deliver ...

For big-ticket purchases, I tend to do a lot of research before I open my wallet. I like to at least have the illusion that when I send my money off to a far-away stranger, I’m likely to get back ...
