Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy has become the leading method for imaging large, tissue-cleared samples in 3D, owing to its optical sectioning, reduced photodamage, and rapid acquisition.

Two new microscopy techniques may enable better resolution from existing hardware and greater imaging depths if a different light source is used. We take a look at each of these in turn. Self ...

Bessel beams look quite different from the usual Gaussian light beams found in optics. In particular, they possess several interesting properties including self-healing, ...

Light beams with a dark hollow spatial intensity profile are of considerable interest due to their wide range of potential applications. In particular, hollow Gaussian beams are expected to be ...

While Jiuzhang achieved Gaussian boson sampling in just 200 seconds, the researchers estimated that the same calculation would take the world's fastest supercomputer, Fugaku, 600 million years to ...

Their method is called “4D Gaussian splatting,” because time, being the fourth dimension, is the new feature, allowing for the image to change over time. Why motion is so tricky for Gaussian ...

Someone hit it with a Gaussian blur, basically. As reported by The Verge, Google is rolling out this change piecemeal—starting with updates to Google app on IOS and Pixel phones, and likely ...

Quantum advantage: the Gaussian boson sampling experiment at the University of Science and Technology of China. (Courtesy: Chao-Yang Lu) A optical circuit has performed a quantum computation called ...

--Synopsys, Inc. today announced the release of version 9.1 of its LightTools ® illumination design software, which expands LightTools' comprehensive features and workflows for illumination ...
