Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which ...

Fifteen years ago, physicists worked out a method to increase image contrast by hitting the electron imaging beam with an ...

Installed in a custom Titan Krios, the laser phase plate enhances motion correction, early‑frame recovery, and 3D classification and alignment.

This Collection invites original research articles on phase contrast imaging, looking at the latest technological developments and the use of this technique in original applications. Phase contrast ...

X-ray phase contrast imaging harnesses the phase shift that X-rays undergo when traversing a specimen, offering contrast mechanisms beyond simple absorption. By detecting refraction and ...

An imaging process that today is used mainly in research labs could potentially detect early-stage lung disease if developed for use in hospitals and clinics, a new research study shows. Researchers ...
