The diffraction limit arises from the wave nature of light and the principles of diffraction. When light passes through an aperture, such as the objective lens of a microscope, it undergoes ...

Harnessing light's energy into nanoscale volumes requires novel engineering approaches to overcome a fundamental barrier known as the 'diffraction limit.' However, researchers have breached this ...

The emergence of imaging schemes capable of overcoming Abbe's diffraction barrier is revolutionizing optical microscopy. In 1873, the German physicist Ernst Abbe realized that the resolution of ...

So what about using diffraction with infrared light? Yes, that would be cool, but we can't really see infrared (well, there is a body hack for this ). Even though we can't see infrared, most video ...

In 1873, German physicist Ernst Abbe proposed that diffraction fundamentally limited the resolution that any microscope could achieve to around half the wavelength of light. And, despite many ...

New twists in the diffraction of intense laser light Date: January 12, 2016 Source: University of Strathclyde Summary: A discovery could have a major impact on advancing smaller, cheaper, laser ...

A combined team of engineers from Jiangsu University and Harvard University used a non-destructive, light diffraction fingerprint technique to detect viral infections in cells. Their paper is ...

A new design architecture, called diffraction casting, seeks to address these shortcomings. It introduces some concepts to the field of optical computing that might make it more appealing for ...
