An attosecond—or 0.000000000000000001 second—is no time at all for a person. That is not so for electrons, atoms and ...

Next-generation optical inspection is about more than sensitivity. It’s about seeing reliably through complexity.

Knowable Magazine reports on attosecond science, revealing how scientists study atomic interactions at unbelievable speeds to ...

For over a century, surgeons performing delicate procedures have relied on stereoscopic microscopes to gain a sense of depth. These tools mimic human vision by presenting slightly different images to ...

Photography is great, but sometimes it can get boring just reusing the same wavelengths over and over again. There are other ...

By turning standard images into precise 3D measurements, the FiLM-Scope could expand what’s possible in both manual and robotic microsurgery. Its flexible, data-rich imaging could also be valuable in ...

To avoid this restriction, which is known as vignetting, Cui explains that the team separated the two lenses and inserted a Keplerian telescope between them. “This ‘telescope-within-a-microscope’ ...

Leica Microsystems launched the ARveo 8x, a hybrid surgical microscope for spine, neurosurgery and plastic reconstructive procedures. The microscope combines Leica optics with 3D visualization ...

This important work offers a fresh perspective central to merozoite surface biology and potential implications on vaccine design, challenging the dogma that MSPs are indispensable invasion engines.

This important study presents a new method for longitudinally tracking cells in two-photon imaging data that addresses the specific challenges of imaging neurons in the developing cortex. It provides ...

For over a century, surgeons performing delicate procedures have relied on stereoscopic microscopes to gain a sense of depth.

Optical imaging articles from across Nature Portfolio Optical imaging includes a variety of imaging techniques that rely on illumination light in the ultraviolet, visible and infrared regions of ...
