description: "Recent advances in nanotechnology and nanoscience are highly dependent on our newly acquired ability to measure and manipulate individual structures on the nanoscale. A drawback of light microscopy is the fundamental limit of the attainable spatial resolution
dictated by the laws of diffraction at about 250 nm."

Recent advances in nanotechnology and nanoscience are highly dependent on our newly acquired ability to measure and manipulate individual structures on the nanoscale. A drawback of light microscopy is the fundamental limit of the attainable spatial resolution dictated by the laws of diffraction at about 250 nm.
