Imaging of object structures using cylindrical vector beams in an aplanatic solid immersion
lens (SIL) microscope is investigated. Based on a complete optical model of an aplanatic SIL …

Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy plays a crucial role in our understanding of cell
structure and function by reporting cellular ultrastructure with 20–30 nm resolution. However …

We present a theoretical and numerical study of a dual-metasurface superlens dedicated to
the near-field optical imaging of submicron objects. Compared to the previous studies of …

The imaging quality of an aplanatic SIL microscope is shown to be significantly degraded by
aberrations, especially when the samples have thicknesses that are more than a few …

Image scanning microscopy (ISM), which combines the confocal scanning microscopy
(CSM) with fast wide-field CCD detection, has been demonstrated in the fluorescent …

The best reported resolution in optical failure analysis of silicon chips is 120-nm half pitch
demonstrated by Semicaps Private Limited, whereas the current and future industry …

Computational imaging, or post-processing of images, allows the resolution limit of optical
microscopy to be exceeded. Here we present an image-inversion approach to improve the …

Electrochemical reactions are inherently heterogeneous, occurring at the interface between
a solid electrode and an electrolyte solution. Therefore, detailed mechanistic understanding …

The spatial resolution in far-field mid-infrared (λ> 2.5 µm) microscopy and micro-
spectroscopy remains limited with the full-width at half maximum of the point-spread function …

Resolution improvement through signal processing techniques for integrated circuit imaging
is becoming more crucial as the rapid decrease in integrated circuit dimensions continues …
