The mechanical properties of biological fluids, such as viscosity and surface tension, are valuable indicators for the early detection of diseases, reflecting subtle physiological and pathological ...

Nanoscopy is a field of microscopy that focuses on imaging and studying structures and processes at the nanoscale, typically below the diffraction limit of light. It encompasses various techniques ...

Raman microscopy combines optical microscopy with the ability to determine the chemical makeup of surfaces. Laser light is delivered to the sample surface via the same objective as the optical light ...

Fluorescence light microscopy techniques offer several advantages when imaging biological samples, including high image contrast, good labeling specificity, multicolor, and three dimensional (3D) ...

MIT physicists have built a new microscope that can see quantum motion inside superconductors ...

In this article, we look at some of the key developments of various microscopy techniques over the last few years and how they have benefitted different areas of research and development. The impact ...

You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, ...
