Interferometric microscopy

Interferometric microscopy is a kind of microscopy that uses light to make very, very tiny things (like certain proteins in living cells) easier to see. It works by sending two beams of light towards the object you want to look at. The two beams of light create something called an "interference pattern," which is like a pattern of stripes or waves. Because of this pattern, it can help you make out very small details about the things you are looking at. It's like making a map of a tiny landscape!
