Seeing is believing
Previously scientists looked at everything at the same time, resulting in a blurry image. With the optical tricks and recent developments in microscopy, scientists can now obtain super-resolution images of objects and discover worlds which they have never seen before. The digital developments within imaging have resulted in dramatic changes over the past decades. From […]
