The microscope's
nanometer resolution will allow researchers to track particles floating in colloidal solutions (for example, nanoscale beads floating in a sample of paint) using equipment that is
at least a tenth of the cost of an electron microscope.
By devising a dual - objective system with two microscope lenses facing each other, Xu and colleagues viewed the front and back of the sample
at the same time and achieved unprecedented optical
resolution (of approximately 10
nanometers) of a cell.
«So using this method we can look
at interactions between four biological components inside a cell in three - dimension and
at very high
resolution of about 10
nanometers,» Xu said.
Because «blinking» is precisely tunable, molecules that are only
nanometers apart from each other can be distinguished —
at the higher
resolution end of super-
resolution.
Their setup, which is specific to the type of explosive being investigated, employs a two - color imaging pyrometer, which consists of two monochrome cameras filtered
at 700
nanometers and 900
nanometers, and a full - color single pyrometer that achieves wavelength
resolution with a Bayer - type mask covering the sensor chip.
Today researchers
at Texas A&M have figured out how to take images of the brain
at a
resolution of just 160
nanometers, but they've scanned only a rice - grain - size piece of mouse brain in any one trial.
The microscope captures 3D images about once per second
at resolutions of about 200 to 250
nanometers, not atomic
resolution, but still
at a dynamic level never before seen.

at 1 - to 2 -

nanometer of their volumes
at picosecond time
resolutions.
