Introduction to SNOM: The Scanning Near-field Optical Microscope (SNOM) stands as a pivotal analytical tool in nanotechnology, enabling the visualization of nanostructures with resolution beyond the ...

Researchers from Regensburg and Birmingham overcome a fundamental limitation of optical microscopy. With the help of quantum mechanical effects, they succeed for the first time in performing optical ...

Researchers have developed a new microscope that can visualize the optical response of surfaces at an unprecedented spatial resolution of one nanometer. This paves the way for optical microscopy of ...

Accurate measurement results depend on regular microscope calibration to ensure consistency and reliability across scientific and industrial use.

The illustration on the left depicts a cut cell. The micrographs in the box show the indicated structure – the cut smooth endoplasmic reticulum (a part of a transportation system of the cell). The ...
