Scientists reduce the photobleaching effect in STED microscopy with the use of Onefive sub-nanosecond laser Katana HP

The Molecular Microscopy and Spectroscopy group togheter with the Nanoscopy group at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT, Genova, Italy) have significantly reduced the photobleaching effect in STED (STimulated Emission Depletion) microscopy without the reduction of the spatial resolution by combining the time-gated detection technique with the use of the subnanosecond fiber laser Katana HP as STED laser beam [1]. This result brings one step further the development of commercially available super-resolution microscopes.

Study Paves Way for Novel Platform for 3D Optical Data Storage

In the world of big data, there are limitations on storing large volumes of information. Typical home-computer hard disk drives use up a lot of power and are limited to a few terabytes per drive. Optical storage media such as Blu-ray and DVD, are energy efficient and inexpensive, however storage densities are very low because of the optical diffraction limit and planar nature of the discs. However, scientists have made progress on creating a 3D diamond chip capable of storing vastly more data compared to existing technologies.
