This Special Issue will showcase advances and applications within the exciting field of sub-diffraction chemical imaging. Submit your manuscript by July 31, 2024.
Over the past decade, novel microscopies that break the light diffraction limits have continued to develop. Examples include infrared photothermal microscopy, that breaks the diffraction limit in IR imaging, and expansion microscopy that allows super-resolution fluorescence imaging on a conventional microscope. There has been a significant acceleration in structural illumination microscopy (SIM) and single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) and advancements have pushed the resolution limit of stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy on the angstrom scale. In parallel, data science and artificial intelligence (AI) are elegantly applied to break the diffraction limits of images recorded on a conventional microscope.
These innovations have enabled exciting applications, including the study of single particle catalysis, biomolecule trafficking inside a live cell, dynamic imaging of cellular organelles, and many others.
The Editors of Chemical & Biomedical Imaging are pleased to announce a Call for Papers for a Special Issue on Sub-diffraction Chemical Imaging, to showcase the most recent advances in the field.
This Special Issue will launch in 2024, on the 10th anniversary of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry being awarded to super-resolved fluorescence microscopy.
