The imaging resolution of a conventional optical microscope is limited by diffraction to ~200 nm [nanometers] in the visible spectrum. Efforts to overcome such limits have stimulated the development of optical nanoscopes using metamaterial superlenses, nanoscale solid immersion lenses and molecular fluorescence microscopy. 1, record 1, English, - optical%20nanoscope

[Trois lauréats du Prix Nobel en chimie] ont chacun à leur manière contribué à accroître la résolution des microscopes optiques à fluorescence. Grâce à leurs travaux, il est désormais possible d'observer la matière vivante de manière dynamique à l'échelle des protéines, sans la détruire ni la figer. [...] le microscope est devenu un «nanoscope», en franchissant la barrière que l'on pensait infranchissable d'une résolution de 0,2 micromètres. 4, record 1, French, - nanoscope%20optique
