In TIRF microscopy, fluorescent molecules are in a sample in an aqueous environment that is near a solid with a high refractive index, usually a glass coverslip. At what is called the critical angle, ...

Electron microscopy has evolved into a suite of sophisticated techniques essential for investigating the structure and properties of materials at the nanoscale and beyond. By utilising focused ...

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is an advanced analytical tool that massively outstrips the capabilities of traditional light microscopy. Using visible wavelengths of light on the 400 – 700 ...

Olympus delivers a breakthrough to life science microscopy with the launch of its next-generation X Line objectives. Ultra-thin lenses manufactured by a revolutionary polishing technique enable the ...

The image pair captured in the banner shows the reduction in noise and increase in image quality between standard FDK imaging (left) and Zeiss DeepRecon Pro (right). Metal syntactic foam sample ...

The invention that first enabled researchers to see clear images of living cells was the phase-contrast microscope, which won its inventor, Frits Zernike, a Nobel Prize in 1932. Prior to Zernike's ...

Two-photon microscopy is a type of fluorescence microscopy that, rather than exciting the sample with a single photon, makes use of multiple photons. The advantage over more traditional one-photon ...

Coherent Corp. has introduced the Axon FL, a new fiber coupling module designed to enhance the versatility of the Axon 920 TPC ultrafast femtosecond laser for Mini2P microscopy applications. This plug ...

Photo-induced force microscopy (PiFM) is a new technique that hit the market last year (2016) and is now seen, in some respects, as an alternative technique to atomic force microscopy (AFM). Here, we ...

Metalenses represent a revolutionary advancement in optical technology. Unlike conventional microscope objectives that rely on curved glass surfaces, metalenses employ nanoscale structures to ...

Hyperspectral imaging in both the visible and near-infrared (VNIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) wavelength ranges has been a research topic of interest for imec. Meanwhile, Leti has developed a ...

The rapid evolution of microscopy techniques has transformed our ability to visualise biological structures and processes at unprecedented resolutions. Advances in live‐cell imaging, super‐resolution ...
