Plans Developed for Lensless 'Ultimate Microscope' SHEFFIELD, England, March 14, 2007 -- Scientists have developed an innovative way to take images of atoms in living cells without using a lens. They now plan to use the technique to develop the ultimate x-ray microscope, which could be used to take high-resolution 3-D images of any molecular structure. University of Sheffield professor John Rodenburg and colleagues in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, in collaboration with Switzerland's Paul Scherrer Institut, said that without using a lens, they have...
