Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which ...

Fifteen years ago, physicists worked out a method to increase image contrast by hitting the electron imaging beam with an ...

Researchers have developed a new type of microscope that can acquire extremely large, high-resolution pictures of non-flat objects in a single snapshot. This innovation could speed up research and ...

Scanning transmission electron microscopy, or STEM, is a powerful imaging technique that enables researchers to study a material’s morphology, composition, and bonding behavior at the angstrom scale.

When trying to measure molecular structures with nanometer precision, every bit of noise shows up in the data: someone walking past the microscope, tiny vibrations in the building and even the traffic ...

A team led by Raju Tomer, professor of biological sciences at Columbia University, has created a new design for microscopes ...

Deep inside a small, windowless room at the University of California, Berkeley, two microscopes are quietly capturing some of ...

Ever wondered what everyday things under a microscope look like? You’ll never look at a toothbrush—or a grain of salt—the ...

An AI algorithm converts 2D electron microscope images into accurate 3D structures, cutting analysis time and cost to one-eighth while preserving precision. The newly developed algorithm requires ...

We propose a multi-frame blind deconvolution method using an in-plane rotating sample optimized for X-ray microscopy, where the application of existing deconvolution methods is technically difficult.

Researchers have developed a deep learning algorithm for removing systematic effects from atomic force microscopy images, enabling more precise profiles of material surfaces. Atomic force microscopy, ...

The microscope is an iconic symbol of the life sciences – and for good reason. From the discovery of the existence of cells to the structure of DNA, microscopy has been a quintessential tool of the ...
