Research team resolves decades-long problem in microscopy

When viewing biological samples with a microscope‚ the light beam is disturbed if the lens of the objective is in a different medium than the sample. For example‚ when looking at a watery sample with a lens surrounded by air‚ the light rays bend more sharply in the air around the lens than in the water.
