Limited by the laws of physics, scientific discoveries and the advance of knowledge can be bound up in a series of slow proceedings. In microscopy, up until the early 21 st century, the diffraction ...

Researchers have developed a super-resolution microscopy method for the rapid differentiation of molecular structures in 3D. LMU researchers have developed a super-resolution microscopy method for the ...

Super-resolution microscopy is a technique that can "see" beyond the diffraction of light, providing unprecedented views of cells and their interior structures and organelles. The technique has ...

Overcoming the resolution limit in a light microscope of around half a wavelength of light (about 250 nanometers) is one of the most significant developments in optics. Due to the wave nature of light ...

An ultra-precise microscope that surpasses the limitations of Nobel Prize-winning super-resolution microscopy will let scientists directly measure distances between individual molecules. UNSW medical ...

Our approach to super-resolution microscopy is fundamentally different from most existing techniques such as stimulated emission depletion microscopy, structured illumination microscopy, or ...

In decades past, researchers and scientists have been constrained by an optical resolution limit—defined over 140 years ago—that established the maximum resolution of an optical system of 200 nm in ...

When single-molecule super-resolution microscopes were first commercialized some 15 years ago, they made headlines for their ability to resolve individual molecules and structures at the nanometer ...

Three-dimensional (3D) super-resolution microscopy is essential to study the minute structural details of cells and analyze molecular dynamics. Recently, researchers at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität ...

With high-resolution microscopy, it is theoretically possible to image cell structures with a resolution of a few nanometres. However, this has not yet been possible in practice. The reason for this ...
