The scanning electron microscope (SEM) delivers high resolution, high depth of field, and an image quality as if microscopic objects are seen by the naked eye. This makes it not only a powerful ...

Spherical aberration in an optical system causes rays that pass farther from the optical axis to be focused closer to the lens than those passing near the axis, resulting in a blurred focal spot and ...

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory made a big leap in their research into all things small. Within the past few months, scientists there began using what they say is the world’s most ...
