Abstract:
The development of human science and technology has always been accompanied by curiosity and exploration of the essence of life. Although people have long been committed to revealing the basic composition and laws of motion of living organisms, the mysteries of life are often hidden in microscopic structures and rapid processes, beyond the ability of direct observation by the naked eye. In 1665, Hooke first observed cells using a microscope, which marked the recognition that living organisms are composed of cells as the basic unit, greatly enhancing our spatial resolution and understanding of living organisms. Similarly, due to the limitations of visual temporal resolution, the debate over whether all four hooves of a horse fly simultaneously during galloping persisted for a long time, until Muybridge provided conclusive evidence through photographic techniques in 1878. Nowadays, attosecond optical technology, as a new type of ultra short pulse laser technology, has extremely high time resolution, making extremely fast and high-resolution imaging possible, opening up new avenues for multi-faceted research in the field of life sciences.
