The evolution of picocavities and plasmonic nanogaps is revolutionizing light confinement, enabling atom-level control in ...

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) have unveiled a planar optical device that significantly enhances the capabilities of dark-field microscopy, achieving ...

What is Single-Molecule Localization Microscopy? Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) is a super-resolution imaging technique that enables the visualization of biological structures and ...

Attempts to break the diffraction limit with 'super lenses' have all hit the hurdle of extreme visual losses. Now physicists have shown a new pathway to achieve superlensing with minimal losses, ...

At 633 nm wavelength, the DSPP tip generated roughly six times the electric field strength of a comparable asymmetric double-slit probe. Stable nanofocusing held across a 580 to 800 nm range, with the ...

A decade ago, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to a trio of researchers for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy. The announcement at the time stated that the researchers’ ...

Femtosecond transient microscopy is an important tool to study ultrafast transport properties of excited states in solid-state samples. Most implementations are limited to photoexciting a single ...

Researchers have built a reconfigurable light-sheet microscope that lets users swap oil, water and air objectives while ...

Stanford chemists have built a microscope that images the inside of living cells at about 120 nanometers without any ...

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) led by Prof. ZHANG Douguo have unveiled a planar optical device that significantly enhances the capabilities of dark-field ...
