Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which garnered a Nobel Prize in 1953, brought into clear view structures inside ...

A new microscope method reveals details that were difficult to see before, helping researchers study proteins, cells, and ...

Researchers have succeeded in filming the interactions of light and matter in an electron microscope with attosecond time resolution. Electron microscopes give us insight into the tiniest details of ...

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) can help scientists determine the three-dimensional structure of proteins in unprecedented detail. Jacques Dubochet, former group leader at EMBL, shared the 2017 ...

In 1931, physicists Knoll and Ruska unveiled the first electron microscope, revolutionizing science by using magnetic lenses ...

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.

Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and KLA Corporation, a provider of inspection and measurement systems for the semiconductor and related industries, have ...

It’s a problem that few of us will ever face, but if you ever have to calibrate your scanning electron microscope, you’ll need a resolution target with a high contrast under an electron beam. This ...

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

M (MMM) installs rare atomic-scale electron microscope to speed materials R&D, linking structure to performance across ...
