Researchers have introduced a solution to the problem of light-sheet fluorescence microscopy: novel illumination beams designed based on deep learning using a trainable phase mask. Their study ...

A team of NASA researchers is developing new types of optical masks that could help enable the many orders of magnitude of starlight suppression needed for future space observatories to pick out very ...

(A) When a traditional Gaussian beam is used, diffraction causes the illumination beam to widen at the edges. (B) Joint optimization scheme. A network predicts the positions of beads in the focal ...
