New method measures the 3D position of individual atoms

The method developed at the Universities of Bonn and Bristol uses an ingenious physical principle

07-Mar-2024 - Since more than a decade it has been possible for physicists to accurately measure the location of individual atoms to a precision of smaller than one thousandth of a millimeter using a special type of microscope. However, this method has so far only provided the x and y coordinates. Information ...

Tracking Molecules at Turbo Speed

Researchers devise method to speed up observations of high-throughput microbiological process

17-Jan-2024 - Being able to observe micro-organisms and their cellular components is key to understanding fundamental processes that go on inside cells—and thus potentially developing new medical treatments. Microbiologists and biophysicists from the University of Bonn have now developed a method that makes ...

Novel method for fast 3D microscopy

03-Aug-2021 - Researchers at the ImmunoSensation2 Cluster of Excellence at the University of Bonn, the University Hospital and the research center caesar have develop a method that allows using multi-focal images to reconstruct the movement of fast biological processes in 3D. In the past, many discoveries ...
