Engineers Have Created a Simple Slide Coating That Can Impressively Boost the Resolution of a Microscope – Gizmodo Australia

A light-powered microscope has a resolution limit of around 200 nanometres which makes observing specimens smaller or closer together than that all but impossible. Engineers at the University of California San Diego have found a clever way to improve the resolution of a conventional microscope, but surprisingly it involves no upgrades to the lenses or optics inside it.
According to the Rayleigh Criterion theory, proposed by John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh, back in 1896, a traditional light-based…
