Using smart signal processing, they beat the theoretical limits of resolution and speed. Because the method does not require any special fluorescent labelling, it is promising for both medical applications and characterization of 3D structures in nanolithography. On May 7th, the results were published in <i>Light: Science &amp; Applications<\/i>, a scientific journal in the <i>Nature<\/i> family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImaging at the nanoscale is limited by the wavelength of the light that is used. There are ways to overcome this diffraction limit, but they typically require large microscopes and difficult processing procedures,\u201d says Lyuba Amitonova. \u201cThese systems are unsuitable for imaging in deep layers of biological tissue or in other hard-to-reach places.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amitonova recently started a research group on Nanoscale Imaging and Metrology at ARCNL.
