Researchers at the University of California are working on a technology that is able to enhance the resolution of a standard light microscope, allowing it to directly view finer structures and details ...

Scientists design an optical microscope that overcomes the trade-off between field-of-view and resolving power. Called an Adaptive Scanning Optical Microscope (ASOM), the Rensselaer design combines a ...

The world's most advanced light microscopes allow us to see single molecules, proteins, viruses and other very small biological structures -- but even the best microscopes have their limits. Now ...
