In the recently published paper “3D micro-devices for enhancing the lateral resolution in optical microscopy”, scientists from various institutions, including Ruhr University Bochum, have developed a new strategy for the production of high-quality micro-spheres using laser-based 3D printing. This approach uses multiphoton lithography, which enables the maskless production of real 3D structures in the micro and nano range. The integration of dielectric microspheres behind the imaging lens of an optical microscope offers a promising solution to improve lateral resolution.
