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

Electron microscopy is a powerful imaging technique that utilizes a beam of accelerated electrons to visualize and analyze the structure, composition, and properties of materials at the nanoscale.

When Gang Ren whirls the controls of his cryo-electron microscope, he compares it to fine-tuning the gearshift and brakes of a racing bicycle. But this machine at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s ...

The high sensitivity of the reflection electron microscopy (REM) technique to small changes in the crystal structure and composition of the top surface layers of various crystalline materials makes it ...

There’s an old joke that you can’t trust atoms — they make up everything. But until fairly recently, there was no real way to see individual atoms. You could infer things about them using X-ray ...

They can image a wide range of materials and biological samples with high magnification, resolution, and depth of field, thereby revealing surface structure and chemical composition. Industries like ...

In transmission electron microscopy (TEM), where the electron beam passes through the sample to be directly imaged on the detector below, it is often necessary to support the thin samples on a grid.

What is connectomics? The field comprehensively mapping connections between synapses to reshape what we know about the brain.

This instrument is an ultra-high-resolution scanning electron microscope capable of secondary-electron image resolution of 1.2 nm. It is fully digital and incorporates an image archiving computer.
