Atomic-scale detail is now possible with photons, thanks to a cooled-down silver tip and a clever use of plasmonics.

Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered by the high density of their ...
