For the first time, high performance confocal microscopy can be achieved using a white light source. Revolution® DSD is a fully integrated system based on a Differential Spinning Disk optical system.

“We have broken the theoretical limits of optical microscopy in white light,” said engineer Lin Li of the University of Manchester, a co-author of the study. “The surprising thing is the ...

Screenshot of the Zygo white light interferometry microscope software. (Credit: Huygens Optics) White light interferometry (WLI) is a contact-free optical method for measuring surface height.

Microscope resolution with ultraviolet light. UV microscopy uses UV light as the source for the microscope, rather than visible light. UV light has a wavelength between 180 and 400 nm, which is ...

A new microscopy method, light-microscopy-based connectomics (LICONN), has been developed by scientists at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) and Google Research, and could now ...

An artist's representation of the new Brillouin microscopy approach that allows entire light-sheets to interact with 3D biological samples. The scattered light reveals a unique optical ...

Over the years, new technologies—from incorporating pinholes into light paths to gene editing samples for fluorescence expression—have allowed researchers to push the bounds of light microscopy.

Light microscopes use light and mirrors and can see things as small as 400 nanometers. ... Here's an amoeba engulfing red blood cells and red and white blood cells moving through a tiny blood vessel.

In the case of techniques like fluorescence microscopy, they deal with specific light sources on a black background. Hence, m-rBCR uses the frequency representation as the starting point.

JENA, Germany & SEATTLE, May 06, 2025--ZEISS and Alpenglow Biosciences today announced a new partnership to jointly develop an inverted light-sheet microscope and bioinformatics pipeline tailored ...

Scientists developed a new microscope based on Brillouin scattering -- a phenomenon where light interacts with naturally occurring thermal vibrations within materials, from which their mechanical ...
