An optical microscope magnifies images using visible light that are typically viewed directly by the eye. Optical microscope has wide range of applications in different fields such as biotechnology, microelectronics, mineralogy, nanophysics, microbiology and pharmaceutics research.
The report titled “Global Optical Microscope Market to 2018 - Market Size, Growth, and Forecasts in Nearly 60 Countries”, is a valuable source of information with extensive market analysis and market related insights for the concerned businesses and market investors across the globe.
As per the news reports, Dr. Betzig invented a new microscope which promises to provide a 3D view of all the frantic activity of the cells. It is called the lattice light-sheet microscopy, which enables the researchers to observe the rapid processes in the living cells on real time basis with a 3D view.
Dr. Eric Betzig, an engineer and physicist at the Janelia Farms Research Campus in Virginia is one of the three noble prize winner in chemistry for this year. He announced his latest invention after winning the noble prize.
A non-diffracting light known as Bessel beam is used in the lattice light-sheet microscopy, which illuminates samples sideways. The Bessel beam is further divided into seven thin beams in order to lower the phototoxicity.
The new microscope technique is able to produce 1,000 scans per second, which enables less time consumption in sample scanning and also allows to effectively capture the fast moving cellular processes, further providing spectacular high-resolution 3D videos and images.
