Scallop eyes as inspiration for new microscope objectives Date: March 31, 2023 Source: University of Zurich Summary: Neuroscientists have developed innovative objectives for light microscopy by ...

Ghost imaging is like a game of Battleship. Instead of seeing an object directly, scientists use entangled photons to remove ...

Expansion microscopy enables nanoimaging with a conventional microscope The new objective, which the team call a Schmidt objective, has a high numerical aperture of 1.08 at a refractive index of 1.56, ...

Unlike other light sheet techniques, this SPIM concept uses two objectives, oriented 45° from vertical, at right angles to one another above a horizontally mounted sample in an open dish.

The diffraction limit arises from the wave nature of light and the principles of diffraction. When light passes through an aperture, such as the objective lens of a microscope, it undergoes ...
