A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

As a result, they were able to quantify not only the motion of cell structures (micro) but also of tiny particles (nano). Additionally, by comparing the forward and back-scattered light, they could ...

A new dual-light microscope lets researchers observe micro- and nanoscale activity inside living cells without using dyes. The system captures both detailed structures and tiny moving particles at ...

At its core, SPM operates on the principle of measuring interactions between a sharp probe and the surface of a material. As the probe scans across the surface, it detects variations in physical ...

For centuries, scientists have used microscopes to magnify and peer into a world invisible to the naked eye. The earliest instruments were simple lens-filled tubes, the best of which revealed the ...

Fig. 1: Simplified overview of the optical setup. The rays of the fluorescence particle are refracted by the fluctuating water-air interface. Because this aberrating layer can be considered planar, ...

Refractive Solutions announces launch of refractive index liquids and immersion oils for laboratory and microscopy use, with shipments expected in early 2026. Reliable refractive index data depends on ...

Conceptual illustration of the bidirectional quantitative scattering microscope, which detects both forward and backward scattered light from cells. This dual detection enables visualization of ...
