The first microscope that uses the eerie trick of quantum entanglement to increase its sensitivity has been developed by Japanese researchers. The new tool relies on a weird principle of quantum ...

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

Receive emails about upcoming NOVA programs and related content, as well as featured reporting about current events through a science lens. The new microscope uses a 405 nm laser—the same wavelength ...

Australian researchers have demonstrated a quantum microscope that can break through a fundamental barrier faced by regular microscopes and see tiny structures that are normally invisible. The device ...

Electrical engineers at the University of California San Diego developed a technology that improves the resolution of an ordinary light microscope so that it can be used to directly observe finer ...

The development of STED microscopy has allowed researchers at the Max- Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry to image, for the first time, proteins from single synaptic vesicles, answering ...

The M25 multi-focus microscope uses separate cameras to capture images from 25 focal planes at different depths in a sample. (Photo by Eduardo Hirata) The aberration-corrected multi-focus microscopy ...
