Periodic Reporting for period 2 - ChipScope (Overcoming the Limits of Diffraction with Superresolution Lighting on a Chip)

Summary
The physical laws of diffraction generally limit the spatial resolution of optical systems, being about 250 nm for light in the visible range. That is the reason why we usually cannot directly observe virus, single proteins, or molecules with conventional optical microscopes...
