This finding confirms that quasicrystals are shaped by hidden higher-dimensional physics, not just random patterns. A ...

Prof. Dan Shechtman of the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology made the discovery that would later earn him the 2011 ...

While confocal microscopy uses a pinhole to reject out-of-focus light to generate the optical section, a multi-photon (or 2-photon) microscope uses a pulsed infrared laser to stimulate fluorescence ...

When selecting a microscope, it’s important to consider various features, such as the field of view, frame construction, lighting, optical quality and resolution. There are several types of ...

Researchers have now used the technology to build a fully functioning optical microscope for just $60. Researchers at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, built the microscope using ...

Before arriving at Janelia three years ago, Postdoctoral Scientist Antonio Fiore was designing and building optical ...

Skyrmions could revolutionize computing, but simulating them in real-time has been a challenge—until now. Researchers have ...

Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living microorganisms at tiny scales due to complex sample preparation methods or ...

The emergence of imaging schemes capable of overcoming Abbe's diffraction barrier is revolutionizing optical microscopy. In 1873, the German physicist Ernst Abbe realized that the resolution of ...
