This article describes a six-inch wafer inspection microscope that provides automated, reproducible differential interference contrast (DIC) imaging, regardless of the user’s skill level. Wafer ...

Reflection-contrast microscopy is a type of light microscopy that can be used to analyze single cells, biopsies, and other small objects. In contrary to most light microscopy techniques, ...

OAK RIDGE, Tenn., March 25, 2010 -- Using the latest in aberration-corrected electron microscopy, researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and their colleagues have ...

Optical measurement techniques collecting light intensity in the far-field such as conventional and confocal microscopy or coherence scanning interferometry (CSI) enable fast and contactless ...

Not all defects are visible with the same microscope. Explore how resolution, contrast, and signal interpretation shape ...

Live cell imaging is a powerful microscopy technique employed by scientists to monitor molecular processes and cellular behavior in real time. New microscopy techniques reveal that heterochromatin—the ...

Reflection contrast microscopy can image small sections of cells by suppressing stray reflections. This is necessary when imaging biological samples, because biological objects tend to have reflected ...
