Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

If using the AFM alone, one cannot observe that only one of these surfaces has a successful monolayer. Photo-induced Force ...

Sum-frequency generation (SFG) is a powerful vibrational spectroscopy that can selectively probe molecular structures at ...

Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy ...

Photo-induced force microscopy (PiFM) offers nanoscale defect characterization in semiconductors, combining chemical ...

Plasmonic nanogap confinement extends sum frequency vibrational spectroscopy to the nanoscale, enabling direct imaging of ...

Chiral metasurfaces can strongly twist the polarization of light, but how this process unfolds in space and time has been unclear. Scientists in China have now used ultrafast electron microscopy and ...

Researchers from the Optics Group at the Universitat Jaume I in Castellón have managed to correct in real time problems ...

The integration of O-PTIR and laser scanning technologies is advancing microplastics analysis, offering superior chemical ...
