The University of Barcelona has reached an agreement with an international firm to licence technology that will allow it to market a super-resolution microscope that can capture images at twice the resolution of standard microscopes.
A revolution in microscopy
The BiOPT: Optical Trapping Lab – Grup de Biofotònica research group has been working to develop an advanced prototype of a SIM (structured illumination microscopy) super-resolution microscope that uses lasers to illuminate biological samples, structuring the light and modifying it to obtain images with twice the resolution of most microscopes currently in use.
