When all you’ve got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. And when you’ve got a scanning electron microscope, everything must look like a sample that would be really, really interesting ...

Knowledge of the microscopic structure and composition of materials is essential for understanding their properties and designing functional devices. Microscopy techniques based on electrons and X ...

SEM stands for scanning electron microscope. The SEM is a microscope that uses electrons instead of light to form an image. Since their development in the early 1950's, scanning electron microscopes ...

Until now. Two laboratories recently used cryo-electron microscopy to directly image atoms in a protein molecule with a resolution of about 1.2 x 10-7 millimeters or 1.2 ångströms. The previous ...

It uses a scanning electron microscope equipped with a focused gallium ion beam to sequentially mill away the sample surface. In-column backscattered (EsB) and secondary electron (SE) detectors are ...

These microscopic images capture a close up view of Marijuana. We spoke with Ted to find out more about his scanning electron microscope photos. Following is a transcript of the video. This isn ...

The new device, a newer version of a transmission electron microscope, captures images of electrons in flight by hitting them with one- quintillionth-of-a-second electron pulses. This is quite a ...

This unique formation of electrons is called the Wigner crystal (also called electron ice). This crystal holds importance ... For the first time, LBL researchers have captured direct images of the ...
