TORONTO, ON (Canada) - University of Toronto (U of T) researchers have demonstrated a way to increase the resolution of microscopes and telescopes beyond long-accepted limitations by tapping into ...

The resolution of an optical system (like a telescope or a camera) is limited by the so-called Rayleigh criterion. An international team has broken this limit, showing that it is not a fundamental ...

Researchers have demonstrated a way to increase the resolution of microscopes and telescopes beyond long-accepted limitations by tapping into previously neglected properties of light. The method ...

Two become one: various diffraction patterns showing Rayleigh's criterion. (Credit: Wikimedia Commons/Spencer Blevin) Scientists have long believed that diffraction limits the minimum distance that ...

According to the widely accepted Rayleigh criterion, in order to resolve two distant point sources, their angular separation must be larger than 1.22 (the wavelength of light divided by the ...

The angular resolution of a telescope is determined by the observed wavelength divided by the telescope diameter and multiplied by 1.22 (called this the Rayleigh criterion). To resolve an Earth-size ...

MADRID, Oct. 14 (UPI) --The time-honored Rayleigh's curse has been dispelled in a study researchers say can lead to an overall improvement in various imaging technologies. Optical systems such as ...

We study and develop optical microscopes that help biologists and engineers address their questions more quantitatively and accurately, and we do so by extending the capability of optical imaging ...
