A new specimen holder gives scientists more control over ultra-cold temperatures, enabling the study of how materials acquire ...

According to [Asianometry], no one believed in the scanning electron microscope. No one, that is, except [Charles Oatley].The video below tells the whole story. The Cambridge graduate built radios ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful imaging technique that utilizes a beam of accelerated electrons to visualize and analyze the structure, composition, and properties of materials at the nanoscale.

At many universities, student researchers rarely get the chance to even see a transmission electron microscope, or TEM, up ...

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 ...

This degree of magnification and resolution is made possible by the use of a Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope, or FIB-SEM. Ordinary microscopes will not produce the same results. Curious ...

Few standard optical microscopy methods can achieve the same level of spatial resolution, which is essential for being able to resolve geometric and structural features on the nanometer length scale.
