  3. Why Do Super-Resolution Microscopy Advancements Leverage Piezo Technology? 7/11/2024

    Super-resolution microscopy gives researchers a non-destructive way to observe molecular-level intracellular interactions. Although first proposed in the 1970s, this method has become more widely accessible and powerful over the past couple of decades. Technologies that use piezo in microscopy are among those that have furthered the progress. Although the piezoelectric effect generates electricity in response to mechanical pressure on a material, it also makes super-resolution microscopy more effective.
