Newswise — Light microscopes, undoubtedly, are one of the most widely used devices for sample inspection in life and material sciences. Conventional microscopes translate the difference in intensity ...

Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) applied to holographic microscopy harnesses coherent light interference to record both intensity and phase information, enabling label-free visualisation of ...

Physicists have demonstrated a laser-based method that enables a cryogenic electron microscope to image small protein structures with greater detail than previously possible. The laser phase plate ...

Researchers have introduced a solution to the problem of light-sheet fluorescence microscopy: novel illumination beams designed based on deep learning using a trainable phase mask. Their study ...

For decades, the scanning tunnelling microscope has been the gold standard for seeing matter one atom at a time. By hovering ...

The laser you see in the photo above may one day enhance images taken by the most powerful microscopes in biology. This advancement, detailed in a paper published in eLife from scientists at ...

Key points of this articleIn 1958, Nippon Kogaku packed a full-scale microscope capable of 100x oil immersion, phase contrast ...

(A) When a traditional Gaussian beam is used, diffraction causes the illumination beam to widen at the edges. (B) Joint optimization scheme. A network predicts the positions of beads in the focal ...
