Diffraction gratings are beautiful things, bending transmitted and reflected light and splitting it into its component wavelengths to create attractive iridescent rainbow patterns. It’s the same ...

Diffraction occurs when a wave encounters an obstruction in its path and will change direction, or wrap around it. In ocean waves, we see this occur when a wave encounters an object like a jetty and ...

[The Action Lab] had a very serious technical problem. His daughter wanted to 3D print sparkly unicorns. But how do you make a 3D print sparkly? Turns out, he had used a diffraction grating before to ...

What do you do if you want to look inside a biological cell, hoping to see objects that are well beyond the diffraction limit of a microscope – roughly 200nm? One solution is to use the ...

Fluorescence microscopy techniques are powerful tools for probing very small signals and revealing three-dimensional (3D) structural and functional properties of biological samples with high ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The diffraction of axisymmetric, harmonic elastic waves by a circular crack is considered. It is shown that the potential functions for the ...

The first laboratory-based diffraction contrast tomography (DCT) system for 3D grain imaging was launched by Carl Zeiss X-ray Microscopy, a pioneer in bringing synchrotron imaging capabilities to the ...
