Anyone who has ever used a microscope knows that it takes time to bring a sample into sharp focus. Each time you move the ...

Recent breakthroughs in microscopy are enabling scientists to capture sharper, faster, and more reliable images of live cells and complex 3D samples. Caltech's Digital Defocus Aberration Interference ...

Needle-shaped laser beams (NBs) featuring a long and narrow localization of photons can potentially allow non-diffracting pulses with undistorted temporal profiles. Using this kind of pulse in ...

Researchers have unveiled three major microscopy innovations: a Caltech autofocusing method extending focus range hundreds-fold, an ultrafast absorption microscope revealing hidden photosynthetic ...

Researchers from the University of Tartu Institute of Physics have developed a novel method for enhancing the quality of three-dimensional images by increasing the depth of focus in holograms fivefold ...

A programmable LED array provides multi-angle plane-wave illumination, and the transmitted light is collected by microscopic optics and recorded on a camera sensor for subsequent computational ...

If you’ve spent much time looking through a microscope, you know that their narrow depth of field can be a bit challenging to deal with. Most microscopes are designed to only have a very thin slice of ...

Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Yi Xue works on 2P-FOCUS, a new two-photon microscopy system, in her lab. The system promises novel insights into biological features that were once only ...

Stereo microscopes are often the first choice when high-quality 3D perception of samples is required in the lab or an industrial facility. Users will frequently spend hours looking through the ...
