In new research published in Nature, Weizmann Institute scientists introduce a powerful tool to explore quantum phenomena—the ...

As delicious as chocolate is, it's not really much to look at, unless you happen to be looking at it through the eyes of an ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Brandeis Electron Microscopy Facility is located on the 4th floor of the Rosenstiel Basic Medical Sciences Research Center at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts, part of the Greater ...

Nearly 150 years ago, scientists began to imagine how information might flow through the brain based on the shapes of neurons ...

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has revolutionized the realm of microscopic analysis ... Researchers have devised specialized preparation techniques to ensure sample stability and preservation ...

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 ...

Some of you probably know this already, but there’s actually more than one kind of electron microscope. In electronics work, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) is the most common.

The scanning electron microscope scatters electrons across the surface of a specimen. It can magnify in incredible detail. This is a leaf surface under a scanning electron microscope. Both types ...

Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) are two closely related imaging techniques used in material science, nanotechnology, and biology for ...
