Recent scientific advancements have opened new opportunities for the close observation of physical phenomena. Researchers at University of Cambridge and University of Newcastle recently introduced a ...

At f/8, every lens produces an identical 10.7-micron diffraction blur on your sensor regardless of focal length or aperture ...

Researchers have generated high-quality atom diffraction data from graphene, which could lead to new ways to measure surface interactions. A beam of neutral atoms striking a material can produce a ...

"Often, the diffraction limit is considered a nuisance," Saha said. "For us, it became an enabler." By carefully designing patterns smaller than the diffraction limit, the team was able to precisely ...

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a non-invasive method for determining that can be used in phase analysis investigations of crystalline materials. Image Credit: AgriTech/Shutterstock.com The essential idea ...

In the field of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) method has developed into a robust tool for the crystallographic analysis of materials. Specifically, ...

A pattern of distorted lines is visible as a reflection in this close-up view of a human eye. By observing the deformation of illumination patterns reflected off the eye's surface, researchers in ...

[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 ...

4D STEM is currently used in many TEM projects and is for sure on every electron microscopist’s “must-watch” list. Recent advancements in TEM technology, particularly the hybrid-pixel direct electron ...
