Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz Haber Institute have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is ...

Optical and scanning electron microscope images of a nano-LED device that uses AC power instead of DC power, which could be a game-changer for sharper near-eye displays. Journalists may use this image ...

Microscopy is an imaging technique that enables us to see a world that would otherwise be invisible to us. Once upon a time, visualizing cells, microbes and other entities not perceptible to the naked ...

When trying to measure molecular structures with nanometer precision, every bit of noise shows up in the data: someone walking past the microscope, tiny vibrations in the building and even the traffic ...

The unique properties of quantum physics could help solve a longstanding problem that prevents microscopes from producing sharper images at the smallest scales, researchers say. The breakthrough, ...

Jueden's experiment began by accident. While using a low-cost digital microscope to inspect electronics, he turned it toward a LaserDisc out of curiosity. Under magnification, faint ...

Imaging spectroscopic ellipsometry delivers nanometer-level sensitivity and spatial resolution, addressing the limitations of conventional metrology techniques.

Not all defects are visible with the same microscope. Explore how resolution, contrast, and signal interpretation shape ...

Introduction to SNOM: The Scanning Near-field Optical Microscope (SNOM) stands as a pivotal analytical tool in nanotechnology, enabling the visualization of nanostructures with resolution beyond the ...

Previous articles in the Test & Measurement World Basic Microscopy Series 1 dealt with the optical engineering concepts that microscope designers use to create products. Many of the optical parameters ...
