Scientists have been able to boost current super-resolution microscopy by a novel tweak. They coated the glass cover slip as part of the sample carrier with tailor-made biocompatible nanosheets that ...

A light-powered microscope has a resolution limit of around 200 nanometers—which makes observing specimens smaller or closer together than that all but impossible. Engineers at the University of ...

Most conventional light microscopes have a resolution of 200 nanometers – this means that imaged objects which are any closer together won't be seen as separate items. A new high-tech microscope slide ...

Since the 1950s, scientists have worked around this problem by coating samples with a thin layer of gold before imaging. While this approach made electron microscopy possible for countless discoveries ...

A 3D image (taken with laser confocal microscopy) shows crater-like features generated by the captured droplets. (Courtesy: Northwestern University) A transparent, viscous coating that can be brushed ...

Films and coatings have important applications in various fields (coatings, coatings on medical devices, drug delivery, thin films for food protection etc.). Therefore, an efficient technique for the ...
