Microscopy Platform Enables Ultrastable Measurements

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Stable enough to track the movements of individual molecules over many hours, a new measurement platform for microscopes could enable a deeper understanding of subcellular processes. The technology was designed to track single base pairs in human DNA but could be useful in manufacturing, according to researchers at JILA, a partnership between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado Boulder. "This technology can actively stabilize two items relative to each other with a precision well below one nanometer at room temperature," said...Read full article

    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...
