How is Nanotechnology Advancing Imaging Techniques?
Nanotechnology is revolutionizing imaging techniques through the development of advanced materials and systems that offer higher resolution and contrast. Techniques such as Near-Field Scanning Optical Microscopy (NSOM) and super-resolution microscopy rely on nanoscale materials to achieve imaging resolutions beyond the diffraction limit of light. This enables scientists to observe biological processes at the molecular level, providing insights that were previously unattainable.
