The light a lattice light-sheet microscope uses is also unusual. It uses a Bessel beam, which is a special kind of laser light that doesn’t diffract, or splinter. ( Learn more about that here .) ...

By using machine learning and neural networks, a research team has devised and evaluated a superior collimated light source for single-chip spectroscopy and test.

The diffraction limit of light puts a constraint on the size of something you can resolve with a microscope for a given wavelength of light. For visible wavelengths, this limit is about 250 ...

Retroreflectors are interesting materials, so known for their nature of reflecting light back to its source. Examples include street signs, bicycle reflectors, and cat’s eyes, which so haunti… ...

The JEOL JSM-6500F is a Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) w/Electron Beam Lithography attachment, and Nanometer Pattern Generation Systems (NPGS). It offers high resolution images of ...

Light normally travels at about 299,000 kilometres per second (186,000 miles per second), but it slows down when passing through some materials, such as glass. The team fired a light beam called a ...

Physicists from TU Delft have developed a 3-in-1 microscope where a light beam, electron beam and ion beam work together to precisely cut out specific slices from biological samples. These slices are ...
