(Phys.org) —Microscopes have been a centerpiece of experimental science since at least the 16th century, providing a window into the material world at extraordinarily small scales. As the structures examined decrease in size – some measuring just billionths of a meter – capturing an x-ray image at high spatial resolution while retaining sufficient imaging contrast becomes more difficult.
