Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which garnered a Nobel Prize in 1953, brought into clear view structures inside ...

Metalens is a kind of optical metasurface composed of metaatoms for manipulating incoming light's amplitude, phase, and polarization. Unlike traditional refractive lenses, metalens can modulate the ...

The manipulation and control of nanoscale magnetic spin textures are of rising interest as they are potential foundational units in next-generation computing paradigms. Achieving this requires a ...

Retrieving the pupil phase of a beam path is a central problem for optical systems across scales, from telescopes, where the phase information allows for aberration correction, to the imaging of ...

A computer-assisted design schematic showing how an electron beam is routed within a microscope. After going through the sample, it crosses a bright cyan beam representing the laser beam. A schematic ...

Computational microscopy is vital in biomedicine and materials science. Traditional methods struggle with optical aberrations, noise interference, and differences between physical models and ...

Single-cell analysis is a powerful biomedical technique used in various fields of biology and medicine to identify rare cell populations, track cell development and differentiation, understand disease ...
