The paper provides a detailed explanation of how the profile of the light collected in a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) experiments changes when the tip is placed on an atomic step.

Thanks to the diffraction limit, scientists could use the light microscope to see cells but not the proteins inside them or a virus attacking them. But there are optical microscopes today that can ...

A team of McMaster researchers who routinely work with bacteriophages – viruses that eat bacteria – made a remarkable discovery while preparing slides to view under a powerful microscope. After ...

I had to find the right field of view where the differentiated and non-differentiated cells interacted.This took about three hours of precise observation under the microscope to capture the right ...
