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 ...

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 ...

Visualization of the nano-world is a key component in many modern academic institutions. However, to harness the power of this expansive technique, as well as other essentials of cutting-edge research ...

Researchers from the labs of Professors Vinayak Dravid and Omar Farha developed a high-resolution approach to map ...

Working on the nanoscale for manufacturing poses some unique challenges. While many macroscale manufacturing methods such as lithography and additive manufacturing have been successfully translated ...

In this interview, AZoMaterials speaks with Professor Sarah Haigh, Professor of Materials Characterization at the University of Manchester, about her pioneering work in electron microscopy and its ...

It’s a problem that few of us will ever face, but if you ever have to calibrate your scanning electron microscope, you’ll need a resolution target with a high contrast under an electron beam. This ...

TEM works by accelerating electrons, typically with energies between 80 and 300 kV, and directing them through a specimen thin enough for electron transmission. Because of their very short wavelength ...

Cheese fungus, head lice, human sperm, a bee eye, a microplastic bobble: scientific photographer Steve Gschmeissner has imaged them all under the probing lens of a scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Our ability to image the subatomic realm is limited, not just by resolution, but also by speed. The constituent particles that make up – and fly free from – atoms can, in theory, move at speeds ...
