    [ Focus on Chemical Machinery Equipment Network ] The microscope is one of the great inventions of mankind
    .
    Before it was invented, humans' conception of the world around them was limited to the naked eye, or relying on hand-held lenses to help the naked eye see things
    .

     
    Chemical machinery and equipment network hotspots pay attention to chemical machinery and equipment
    The microscope presents a whole new world in the field of vision of humans.
    For the first time, people have seen hundreds of "new" tiny animals and plants, as well as various things from the human body to plant fibers.
    The internal structure can be easily seen.

    .
    Microscopes also help scientists discover new species and help doctors treat diseases
    .

     

    Recently, researchers from Australia have created a quantum microscope that can probe biological samples more gently, allowing us to observe biological structures that would otherwise be "impossible to see"
    .

     

    Microscopes have a long history
    .
    The birth of optical microscopes allows us to observe substances ten thousand times thinner than hair
    .
    They have changed our understanding of cells and molecules such as DNA in cells
    .
    But at the same time the optical microscope encounters a basic obstacle.
    The bright laser used to illuminate tiny objects can damage them
    .

     

      The creation of a microscope that can avoid object damage is a long-awaited milestone
    .
    It represents the first step for the microscope to enter an exciting new era, as well as a wider range of sensing technologies
    .

     

      The new quantum microscope uses a property called quantum entanglement, which is an unusual relationship between particles
    .
    Researchers use it to train the photons leaving the microscope to make them express themselves and reach the detector in a very orderly manner
    .
    This can reduce noise
    .

     

      A key challenge is to make quantum entanglement bright enough to be observed by laser microscopes
    .
    Researchers do this by concentrating photons into laser pulses that are only one billionth of a second long
    .
    This entanglement is 1 trillion times brighter than previously used in imaging
    .

     

      When used in a microscope, the entangled laser provides 35% higher image clarity than other methods without damaging the sample
    .
    Researchers use microscopes to image the vibrations of molecules in living cells
    .
    This allows them to see detailed structures that cannot be seen with traditional methods
    .

     

      The research results were published in the journal Nature
    .
