Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

Then, we take the sample to the electron microscope and zoom in on that exact spot. It’s like using a map to find treasure.” Once the target is located, the sample can be frozen, sectioned and ...

At The Institute of Cancer Research, London, our ability to visualise the intricate inner workings of cancer is going from strength to strength. Robbie Lockyer spoke with scientists using cutting-edge ...

Scanning transmission electron microscopy, or STEM, is a powerful imaging technique that enables researchers to study a material’s morphology, composition, and bonding behavior at the angstrom scale.

A collection of protocols detailing sample preparation, experimental acquisition and data analyses approaches using electron microscopy and electron tomography based methods. This protocol describes ...

Researchers have shown that expensive aberration-corrected microscopes are no longer required to achieve record-breaking microscopic resolution. Researchers at the University of Illinois at ...

SEM stands for scanning electron microscope. The SEM is a microscope that uses electrons instead of light to form an image. Since their development in the early 1950's, scanning electron microscopes ...

A few works from artist Kim Morgan's 'Blood Portraits' series, which use scanning electron microscope images of blood cells. (Steve Farmer - image credit) At first glance, some of Kim Morgan's artwork ...

If you want to build semiconductors at home, it seems like the best place to start might be to find a used scanning electron microscope on eBay. At least that’s how [Peter Bosch] kicked off his ...

A £3 million electron microscope has arrived at the University of Oxford's Department of Materials. The microscope will support research across the university's departments and divisions. It was ...
