A supplement contextualizes key advances in light microscopy over 400 years, while the Tara expedition sets sail to explore oceanic ecosystems at the microscopic level. Microscopes were also in ...

This page provides educational resources, events, news and products related to light microscopy techniques and applications, including fluorescence, phase contrast, confocal and super-resolution ...

Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living microorganisms at tiny scales due to complex sample preparation methods or ...

Digitisation is a major focus of the Museum's Science Strategy and is pioneering the implementation of new techniques and adapting methods to achieve this goal. The 3D Visualisation Laboratory is ...

This limit arises from the wave nature of light and the inability to focus light to an infinitely small point. Super-resolution microscopy techniques overcome this limit through various approaches: ...

A recent project conducted by in-house researchers at the UK’s national synchrotron facility on its Hard X-ray Nanoprobe beamline, looked at how microplastics waste may interact with zinc oxide ...

Mathematically, the Rayleigh criterion can be expressed as: d = 0.61λ / NA where d is the minimum resolvable distance, λ is the wavelength of the light, and NA is the numerical aperture of the ...

Finding new microscopy techniques has traditionally relied on ... Looking forward, the team aims to include nonlinear interactions, light scattering and time information which would enable the ...
