Quantum microscope capable of capturing biological structures

London, Jun 11 (Prensa Latina) Scientists from the University of Queensland (Australia) and German researchers have succeeded in creating a quantum microscope capable of discerning cellular structures that were previously beyond the reach of human technology, the journal Nature published today.

The microscope’s quantum entanglement ‘provides 35 percent improved clarity without destroying the cell, allowing us to see tiny biological structures that would otherwise be invisible ‘, Explain Professor Warwick Bowen, from the Quantum Optics Laboratory at the University of Queensland and one of the creators of the mechanism.

‘This advancement will lead to all kinds of new technologies, from better navigation systems to better MRI machines,’ Bowen emphasized.

Likewise, the experts consider that the greatest achievement of the new method consists in overcoming the so-called ‘hard barrier‘of the conventional light microscope that cannot access the interior of living cells.
