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 ...

Scientists have developed the first adaptive light-sheet microscope -- an instrument that continuously analyzes and adapts to dynamic changes in a specimen and thereby improves spatial resolution.

Scanning probe microscopy is used to create images of nanoscale surfaces and structures or manipulate atoms to move them in specific patterns. It involves a physical probe that scans over the surface ...

Long seen as a reliable workhorse, the scanning electron microscope also has a more exciting side. Debbie Stokes explains why a ‘quiet revolution’ is occurring in some SEM labs. Since the first ...

There are several different types of electron microscopes, including the transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and reflection electron microscope (REM.) Each of ...

Bates College is now home to a state-of-the-art microscope, only the second of its kind in the state, that professors call a “game-changer” for student learning and faculty research. Called a ...

Electrical engineers have proposed a new scheme that can overcome a critical limitation of high-resolution electron microscopes: they cannot be used to image living cells because the electrons destroy ...

A new specimen holder gives scientists more control over ultracold temperatures, enabling the study of how materials acquire properties useful in quantum computers. (Nanowerk News) Scientists can now ...

Constructed from sturdy materials, with interchangeable stage plates, the Celestron Labs S10-60 has a professional, robust feel, provides a wide range of low-powered, clear, 3D images and is a useful ...
