(Nanowerk Spotlight) The drawbacks of existing measures for calibrating scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) based on various diffraction gratings and periodic ...

Technique allows better imaging of microdroplets; method being used to analyze plastic nanoparticles and in virus assaying. Microscopy of microdroplet volume and nanoplastic concentration. Measuring ...

Current calibration methods rely on artificially constructed DNA structures or specific cellular features, each with significant drawbacks. DNA-based rulers require complex chemical synthesis and only ...

New work enables optical microscopes to measure these nanometer-scale details with a new level of accuracy. Over the last two decades, scientists have discovered that the optical microscope can be ...

Accurate alignment of quantum dots with photonic components is critical for extracting the radiation emitted by the dots. In this illustration, a quantum dot centered in the optical “hotspot” of a ...
