A Novel, Patented (#9170414) Light Microscope Technology that Achieves World-Record Resolving Power: The Moleculescope by Yancy Corporation
Yancy, Corp. has developed the Moleculescope, a novel, patented (#9170414) light microscope technology that achieves world-record resolving power. The Moleculescope is a wide-field true-real-time reflected-visible-light microscope which, unlike existing light microscope technology, is not diffraction-limited.
The underlying mechanic is well understood and protected by a comprehensive set of claims in US Patent #9170414 (international patents pending). Yancy, Corp. intends to establish a subsidiary corporation from which to license the intellectual property.

The Moleculescope’s Revolutionary Capability
The System represents a revolutionary improvement to the state-of-the-art magnification in “existing, visible light, wide-field, super-resolution techniques”.
Where existing techniques are small improvements to stretch the Abbe limit of d = λ/2 = 250 nm, the System-design is not subject to Abbe at all, instead only being limited by the quality of its optical components.
Existing techniques are difficult, costly, and/or destructive (which has limited adoption to researchers operating within strict protocols). Our System design may be widely adopted by the metrology industry.
Mid Level Magnification Comparison
High Level Magnification Comparison
For HRSTEM High-Angle Annular Darkfield Detectors (HAADF) are used for the electronic treatment of data produced by electrons scattered at large angles. The contrast in the HAADF image is - beside of the inner and outer detector angles - only dependent on the thickness of the sample, the atomic number of the probed atoms, and the density of matter. HAADF images are therefore called Z-contrast images.
The magnification of the image is contrary to HRTEM not depending on the settings of the projector system, but only influenced by the angle of electron beam deflection during scanning across the specimen. The resolution of the image is mainly influenced by the focussing of the small electron probe, which is focussed down to the atomic level for HRSTEM applications. In this situation the atomic positions are imaged and the HRSTEM image is directly interpretable, which is the largest advantage compared to HRTEM.
