Researchers at the University of Adelaide, as part of an international team, have developed an approach that makes advanced microscopy possible through an optical fiber thinner than a human hair.

"When light enters an optical fiber, it gets scattered and mixed in complex ways," Professor Malik explains. "By learning this complex process and precisely shaping the light that enters the optical ...
