In pursuit of this goal, his 11 member team uses "quantum electron microscopy," which combines classic electron microscopy ...

The efforts of microscopists have given aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy the power to reveal atomic structures with unprecedented precision. It is now up to materials ...

The scanning electron microscope is a type of electron microscope that produces images of a sample by scanning it with a high-energy beam of electrons. The SEM is significantly more powerful than ...

Cryoelectron microscopy is a method for imaging frozen-hydrated specimens at cryogenic temperatures by electron microscopy. Specimens remain in their native state without the need for dyes or ...
