Introduction to SNOM: The Scanning Near-field Optical Microscope (SNOM) stands as a pivotal analytical tool in nanotechnology, enabling the visualization of nanostructures with resolution beyond the ...

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 ...

Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy—a specialized imaging technique that looks for a change in the color of intense ...

First author Karl D. Briegel (l.) with Prof Dominik B. Bucher and their new microscope. The resolution of the new MRI microscope reaches ten-millionths of a meter - that is so fine that even the ...

You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light you shine at it: Optical light illuminates a material’s surface, while X-rays reveal its internal structures and infrared captures ...
