Microscope Produces Sharp Images of Curved SamplesMicroscope Produces Sharp Images of Curved Samples
Article | October 1, 2025
Microscopy samples are seldom completely flat across a centimeter-scale field of view. Mechanical scanning can keep all the parts of a large sample in focus, but scanning reduces throughput, slowing the imaging process. To help large-area...
