Environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) extends conventional scanning electron microscopy by permitting investigation of specimens in gaseous or hydrated states, thus preserving near-native ...

Observations at the nanoscale can provide profound insights into materials science. Yet, the characterization of beam-sensitive and reactive materials has proven challenging. In order to address this ...

The proliferation of micro- and nanotechnology has created an inflection point for high-resolution imaging and analysis. In addition to the downscaling of features being produced, the substrate size ...

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) can help scientists determine the three-dimensional structure of proteins in unprecedented detail. Jacques Dubochet, former group leader at EMBL, shared the 2017 ...

In the world of nanotechnology, where structures are measured in billionths of a meter, precise imaging and measurement techniques are essential. Critical Dimension Scanning Electron Microscopy ...

In this interview, News Medical speaks with Rhea Stringer, Electron Microscopist at the John Innes Centre, about the role of electron microscopy in biological imaging. Rhea discusses how advanced ...

Led by Arthur Blackburn, co-director of UVic's Advanced Microscopy Facility, the team developed a novel imaging technique that allowed them to achieve sub-Ångström resolution using a compact, ...

In transmission electron microscopy (TEM), where the electron beam passes through the sample to be directly imaged on the detector below, it is often necessary to support the thin samples on a grid.

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 ...

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.

Definition: Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) is a powerful nanoscale imaging technique capable of providing atomic-level resolution of surface structures. By utilizing the quantum mechanical ...
