What is Structured Illumination Microscopy? Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM) is a super-resolution fluorescence microscopy technique that allows for imaging beyond the diffraction limit of ...

Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical ...

This is especially true when studying intricate details beyond the optical resolution limit using structured illumination microscopy (SIM). SIM uses multiple images acquired under structured ...

Researchers used structured light and switchable fluorescent molecules to reduce the background light from the out-of-plane regions of microscope samples. This method allowed for the acquisition of ...

Zeiss Microscopy, Jena, Germany, a manufacturer of visible, electron, X-ray and ion microscope systems, has added two super-resolution microscopes to its structured illumination microscopy (SIM) range ...

Researchers from the Optics Group at the Universitat Jaume I in Castellón have managed to correct in real time problems ...

A project at Swiss research center EPFL has designed an add-on unit intended to bring structured light capability to a standard optical microscope. Described in Nature Communications, the design ...

Example of super-resolution microscopy: The image shows how the Discrete Molecular Imaging (DMI) technology visualizes densely packed individual targets that are just 5 nanometer apart from each other ...

Even those who maintain that super-resolution microscopy is a powerful tool of biological discovery have admitted that it may have a bit of an image problem. For example, in a recent review, several ...
