Today we are machining some metal inside the scanning electron microscope! By creating a custom fixture, we can manually ...

Fifteen years ago, physicists worked out a method to increase image contrast by hitting the electron imaging beam with an ...

The Intel i486 might be over 30 years old, but it's still an incredible piece of technology. Especially when viewed up close ...

In the life sciences, cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has revolutionized structure determination by providing atomic-resolution structures of biomolecules in their native environment and in ...

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 ...

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 ...

Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley physicists' new technique offers detailed images of the small molecules and cell structures that ...

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.

"The electron microscope has been used in hair research for half a century, but the knowledge gained through this study has become rather fragmented over the years. While the molecular biological ...

From paints and inks to catalysts and drug-delivery materials, many advanced technologies rely on substances dispersed in ...

A scanning electron microscope reveals nematodes (highlighted in green) inside the spongy mesophyll of a European beech (Fagus sylvatica) leaf infected with beech leaf disease (BLD). Eggs are marked ...
