Nikon, JEOL to Collaborate on Light-Electron Microscope

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Nikon Instruments Inc. and JEOL have joined forces to research and develop systems that combine light and electron microscopy.

Existing light microscopes cannot provide the molecular-level information that an electron microscope can. And electron microscopes are traditionally restricted to nonliving samples, which is not a limitation for light microscopy. This collaboration will ultimately combine the advantages that each technology provides.

The new team will work to develop a macro-to-molecular imaging solution that brings together Nikon’s light-based, multiphoton and superresolution microscopes and JEOL’s EM technologies.

Glossary
superresolution
Superresolution refers to the enhancement or improvement of the spatial resolution beyond the conventional limits imposed by the diffraction of light. In the context of imaging, it is a set of techniques and algorithms that aim to achieve higher resolution images than what is traditionally possible using standard imaging systems. In conventional optical microscopy, the resolution is limited by the diffraction of light, a phenomenon described by Ernst Abbe's diffraction limit. This limit sets a...
