A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed ...

A new x-ray microscopy technique permits observation of molecular-scale features less than a nanometer in height. Developed by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne (IL) National ...

A team has constructed an improved mid-infrared microscope, enabling them to see the structures inside living bacteria at the nanometer scale. Mid-infrared microscopy is typically limited by its low ...

Current calibration methods rely on artificially constructed DNA structures or specific cellular features, each with significant drawbacks. DNA-based rulers require complex chemical synthesis and only ...

Researchers have developed a new microscope that can visualize the optical response of surfaces at an unprecedented spatial resolution of one nanometer. This paves the way for optical microscopy of ...

(Nanowerk News) X-ray microscopes are essential for examining components and materials because they can be used to detect changes and details in the material. Until now, however, it has been difficult ...
