This article discusses research that revealed details in last year's black hole image, and the future for black hole imaging.
One advantage of working with electrons over photons is that the greater mass of the electron means that even slower-moving particles have much shorter wavelengths. This results in a smaller diffraction limit and it is much easier to achieve higher imaging resolution.

ZYGO's integrated approach to optical coatings ensures risk reduction in critical tech sectors.
Cryo-electron microscopy (EM) has recently emerged as one of the main techniques used to study the structural biology of many macromolecular complexes at near-atomic resolution. More recently, this high-resolution technique has been incorporated into the drug discovery process for a number of different purposes.

In February 2020, a team of engineers reported the development of a technique that was able to enhance dark-field microscopy using a small, mirrored chip to generate images in place of the expensive components that were previously required by conventional methods. The advancement of the dark-field microscopy technique opened up the method for use in a variety of new applications, such as diagnostics and other bioanalytical applications.
