A microscope is used to magnify the image of tiny objects. The objects are clearly seen with a microscope because at least one lens magnifies the image. This lens refracts the light so that it enters the eye and magnifies distant objects.

In this interview, AZoOptics talks to Davis Bowling, who provides guidance into extended reality (XR) optical testing and demonstrates how to optimize the testing process.
AZoOptics speaks to Jan Novotný, one of the founding members of Lightigo, about the significance of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) in the elemental analysis field. Discussing Lightigo's rapid technology, Novotný discusses the latest trends in LIBS technology and its many benefits in several applications.
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) play significant roles in various biological events. Due to their non-intuitive physical structures, analysis and understanding of their dynamics have proven challenging. Innovative atomic force microscopy techniques have emerged as a potential tool to gain insights into the structure of IDPs.

For many years, scientists have envisioned developing novel detectors to develop superior solar cells. Recently, they have designed a photodetector inspired by plants’ photosynthetic complexes that convert sunlight into energy. This device is based on polariton propagation over long distances in an organic semiconductor thin film.
