"Breakthrough: Resolving Decades-Long Microscopy Problem"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Phys.org

A research team has resolved a long-standing issue in microscopy by developing a depth-dependent scaling factor to correct the flattening effect caused by different mediums in the lens and sample. This breakthrough allows for more precise imaging of biological structures, potentially aiding in the study and understanding of abnormalities and diseases. The team has provided a web tool and software for determining the corrective factor, which can significantly reduce time and costs associated with microscopy experiments.
