Today, optical microscopy is one of the most widely used methods in various multidisciplinary fields for inspecting objects, organisms, or surfaces on a small scale. However, its lateral resolution is ...

Ultrafast electron microscopy (UEM) and ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) employ extremely short electron pulses—ranging from picoseconds down to a few femtoseconds—to image and diffract samples ...

Raman microscopy combines optical microscopy with the ability to determine the chemical makeup of surfaces. Laser light is delivered to the sample surface via the same objective as the optical light ...

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) led by Prof. ZHANG Douguo have unveiled a planar optical device that significantly enhances the capabilities of dark-field ...

Nanoscopy is a field of microscopy that focuses on imaging and studying structures and processes at the nanoscale, typically below the diffraction limit of light. It encompasses various techniques ...
