Optical stethoscopy: Image recording with resolution λ/20
Abstract
Subwave length-resolution optical image recording is demonstrated by moving an extremely narrow aperture along a test object equipped with fine-line structures. Details of 25-nm size can be recognized using 488-nm radiation. The result indicates a resolving power of at least λ/20 which is to be compared with the values of λ/2.3 obtainable in conventional optical microscopy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
