Scientists can show a movable hologram with a new microscope

Researchers from the Nano-optics research team have developed a new technology that allows composing a three-dimensional image from a constantly moving sample using an optical microscope. The prestigious journal Nature Communications reported about the new patented method today.

The processes that control the behaviour and life of cells are very fast and fleeting. The technology developed by researchers from the Institute of Photonics and Electronics of the Czech Academy of Sciences allows composing a three-dimensional image from a constantly moving sample using an optical microscope. In this way, biological structures of several tens of nanometers can be observed in detail. Today, the prestigious journal Nature Communications informed about the new patented method of Czech scientists.
