Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have discovered a way to improve conventional microscope imagery in a pretty massive way. Using an inexpensive LED array, the CalTech scientists were able to boost the resolution of a microscope with a standard 2X lens to a significantly higher 20X, an advance that help digital pathologists studying large number of tissue samples. The study, which was just published in Nature Photonics , shows how the CalTech team worked around one of the microscope's main limitations: either having to choose between a high resolution image with a small field of view, or a lower-resolution image with a wide field of view. However, by pairing an LED array with the standard 2X lens microscope, shooting...
