The optical microscope relies on light and consists of two main lenses: • The objective lens, which magnifies the object you wish to observe (with various magnification options). • The eyepiece, which ...

Scientists have produced the world's most powerful optical microscope, which could help us understand the causes of many viruses and diseases. Scientists have produced the world's most powerful ...

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 ...

Schematic of the transmission mode microsphere superlens integrated with a classical optical microscope. The spheres collect the near-field object information and form virtual images that can be ...

For centuries, the field of pathology has been defined by a single instrument: the microscope. But according to William ...

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 ...

Researchers invented a new type of microscope called reflective matrix microscope, which uses adaptive optics techniques. Non-invasive microscopic techniques such as optical coherence microscopy and ...

Nobel Prize for Chemistry has been equally divided among the Laureates Eric Betzig, Stefan W. Hell and William E. Moerner for having bypassed a presumed scientific limitation stipulating that an ...

Nonlinear optical dynamics—intensity-dependent response of light upon interaction with materials under high-intensity light sources—are of huge significance in modern photonics, finding applications ...
