Overcoming the limits of optical microscopy - the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy
03 December, 2014
When scientists in the 17th century studied living organisms under an optical microscope for the first time, a new world opened up before their eyes. However, optical microscopy was limited by a physical restriction as to what size structures it was possible to resolve. Now, super-resolved fluorescence microscopy has bypassed this limitation.
