Chromatic confocal microscopy (CCM) is a pivotal optical technique that exploits the dispersion properties of lenses to encode depth information in different wavelengths, thereby enabling non-contact ...

Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) is a microscopy technique widely used to investigate cells and tissues. Even though first biomedical applications based on QPI have been developed, both acquisition ...

A comparison of experimental annular dark field (ADF)-scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and electron ptychography in uncorrected and aberration-corrected electron microscopes. In the ...

The illustration explains the physical foundations of the new method by showing a light path through the microscope from the light source (left), via condenser, specimen, objective and detector. The ...
