World’s First Optical Microscope that could view 50 nanometers objects

England created a new type of optical microscope that is able to break the record to saw the smallest object that can’t be seen on ordinary optical microscope.

Scientists from Univesity of Manchester and colleagues from Singapore to introduce new optical microscope that can help learn the many viruses that cause disease. The findings were published in the journal Nature Communication.

“This world’s first optical microscope can view objects 50 nanometers under normal light and it is a new record,” said the Wang Zengbuo, author report. Previously, the microscope could not see objects as small as it is because of interrupted light.

For going beyond that, scientists combining optical microscopy with micro transparent ball, dubbed ‘micro ball nanoskop’. Using a more powerful force, a new creation that can be used observe the contents of human cells and virus for the first time.

Further, the principles used microscopes that can be used to produce a more powerful optical microscope. “Not only see objects 50 nanometers, we believe it is only the beginning and could see much smaller objects again,” said senior author Li Lin.

In theory, no limit on how small an object can be seen, added Li. Microscope that there are currently only able to see the cell surface and could not see its structure. In addition, there is no tool to see virtually immediate virus.

Some scientists use the ‘optical fluorescence microscope’ to look into the cells indirectly by coloring them in advance. However, this technique can not penetrate the virus.

Therefore, scientists believe, this new microscope has the potential to revolutionize the way cells and study the vius. This will be very helpful in biomedicine and treatment of a disease.
