Squeezed light improves sensitivity of microscopy technique

Vibrational signals from molecules can provide contrast in bioimaging techniques, but are difficult to detect. Light in a 'squeezed' quantum state has been used to reveal molecular vibrational signals previously obscured by noise. Background noise reduced in a bioimaging method.
