The invention that first enabled researchers to see clear images of living cells was the phase-contrast microscope, which won its inventor, Frits Zernike, a Nobel Prize in 1932. Prior to Zernike's ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2024.240060, discusses multi-prior intelligent microscopy assisted high-throughput, pixel super-resolution quantitative phase imaging.

In a cramped, windowless room on the University of California, Berkeley, campus, two bespoke microscopes—each a Swiss Army ...

(A) When a traditional Gaussian beam is used, diffraction causes the illumination beam to widen at the edges. (B) Joint optimization scheme. A network predicts the positions of beads in the focal ...
