A single flat metalens now handles both excitation and fluorescence collection for diamond quantum sensors, enabling nanoscale sensing in spaces too tight for conventional optics.

GLONIK has released a new 3D optical microscope that allows users to freely change their views, not only vertical view but also oblique views at arbitrary angles. GLONIK's patented technology provides ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Direct visualization and manipulation of individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in ambient conditions is of great significance for their characterizations and applications. However, ...

Colin Sheppard of the National University of Singapore reviews the latest developments in the theory of microscope optics of the microscope, and addresses various shortcomings in the traditional ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. A new microscope combines a normal optical scope with a see ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- UCLA researchers have redefined the concept of a microscope by removing the lens to create a system that is small enough to fit in the palm of a hand but powerful enough to create ...

Sneezes, rain clouds, and ink jet printers: They all produce or contain liquid droplets so tiny it would take several billion of them to fill a liter bottle. Measuring the volume, motion and contents ...

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next magnifies the already-magnified image, and so on until it reaches the eye ...

Widely considered the most common type of microscope, Optical Microscopes magnify visible light to allow for the examination of features too small for the naked eye. This kind of microscope is ...

Super resolution: image taken using the new chip. (Courtesy: Bielefeld University / Robin Diekmann) A photonic chip that allows a conventional microscope to work at nanoscale resolution has been ...
