Surface Immersion Microscope
Published Sunday, February 15, 2004The resolution of any far-field optical microscope is limited by diffraction. The order of magnitude of the resolution is R~1/n. A common way of increasing the resolution of a conventional microscope is to immerse the sample into a liquid with a refractive index of n. In fact immersion microscopes exploit this physical property. However, the range...
