Researchers at the University of California are working on a technology that is able to enhance the resolution of a standard light microscope, allowing it to directly view finer structures and details ...

IN a recent paper 1 I derived formulæ expressing the distribution of light in the geometrical focal plane of optical systems of high relative aperture; and, using these formulæ, curves were given ...

The world's most advanced light microscopes allow us to see single molecules, proteins, viruses and other very small biological structures -- but even the best microscopes have their limits. Now ...

Picking up one of these cheap iPhone microscopes costs only a couple of bucks, but frankly the magnification on them isn’t too hot, making it more for fun than anything else. Researchers from UC Davis ...

Optical microscopy is a very useful technique to examine the appearance of a sample with greater detail, but there are some limitations that provide a boundary to its use in practice. Cross section of ...

IN a recent paper Ruska 1 demonstrated experimentally the possibility of surpassing considerably the resolving power of an ordinary microscope by the use of an electron microscope. This high resolving ...
