Scientists have unveiled a new way to capture ultra-sharp optical images without lenses or painstaking alignment. The ...

Accurate and robust 3D imaging of specular, or mirror-like, surfaces is crucial in fields such as industrial inspection, medical imaging, virtual reality, and cultural heritage preservation. Yet ...

For centuries, biological imaging was myopic; visualization stopped at about 10 μm of tissue depth. Detailed observation of tissue came with a death sentence for the tissue (fixation) so that it could ...

3D optical profiling integrates imaging with accurate speed and measurement, which is not possible with contact techniques like atomic force microscopes (AFMs) or stylus profilers. 3D optical ...
