A new lens-free imaging system uses software to see finer details from farther away than optical systems ever could before.

Scientists have unveiled a new way to capture ultra-sharp optical images without lenses or painstaking alignment. The ...

Imaging technology has transformed how we observe the universe—from mapping distant galaxies with radio telescope arrays to unlocking microscopic details inside living cells. Yet despite decades of ...

[The Thought Emporium] has been fascinated by holograms for a long time, and in all sorts of different ways. His ultimate goal right now is to work up to creating holograms using chocolate, but along ...

Fundamental diffraction physics says that a larger aperture improves both resolution and penetration. However, aperture size has historically been limited by system complexity and unknown benefit in ...

(Nanowerk News) Turning up the intensity of x-ray beams used to probe the atomic structures of materials can actually reduce the intensity of x-rays scattered from the material, a RIKEN-led team has ...

What is Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD)? Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), also known as backscatter Kikuchi diffraction (BKD), is a powerful characterization technique used to analyze ...
