What are the Recent Advances in Imaging Techniques?
Recent advances in nanotechnology imaging techniques focus on improving resolution, speed, and functionality. Some notable advancements include:
Cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM): Allows for imaging of biological samples in their native state at near-atomic resolution. Super-resolution microscopy: Breaks the diffraction limit of light to achieve nanometer-scale resolution in fluorescence microscopy. In-situ TEM: Enables real-time observation of processes occurring at the nanoscale under various conditions. Correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM): Combines the advantages of light and electron microscopy for comprehensive analysis.
