The scanning electron microscope (SEM) delivers high resolution, high depth of field, and an image quality as if microscopic objects are seen by the naked eye. This makes it not only a powerful ...

Quantum weirdness is opening new doors for electron microscopes, powerful tools used for high-resolution imaging. Two new advances from the lab of UO physicist Ben McMorran are refining the ...

A team of researchers has developed the first transmission electron microscope which operates at the temporal resolution of a single attosecond, allowing for the first still-image of an electron in ...

Which digital microscopes are best? Whether an academic researcher or a casual hobbyist, the microscope is an essential part of nearly every scientist’s toolkit. While all microscopes let you examine ...

How are Electron Microscopes Used? There are a number of electron microscopy techniques, such as cryo-electron microscopy, that are normally used for imaging biological structures. Some of the most ...

Advances in microscopy have long focused on improving resolution, throughput, and automation. The next transformation may lie in enabling microscopes to contribute to the reasoning that guides ...

Scientific discovery is often portrayed as the result of long hours alone in a lab, but true science is inherently collaborative. The most robust experimental processes are developed through ...

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 ...
