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 ...

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 ...

Imagine owning a camera so powerful it can take freeze-frame photographs of a moving electron—an object traveling so fast it could circle the Earth many times in a matter of a second. Researchers at ...

To get a better look at brains, Harvard researchers are making microscopes work more like human eyes. Until recently, the quest to build high-resolution maps of brains—otherwise known as "connectomes" ...

A comparison of experimental annular dark field (ADF)-scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and electron ptychography in uncorrected and aberration-corrected electron microscopes. In the ...

Researchers have designed a new electron cryo-microscope that is a fraction of the size and cost of current alternatives and used it to determine 11 atomic structures. The breakthrough aims to slash ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. A team of researchers from the University of Arizona have penned a new study detailing the creation of a microscope capable of capturing the speed of a ...
