Unlike the electron beam used in scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM), the beam in a focused ion beam system (FIB) is composed of gallium (Ga) ions. The ions forming the structure ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Electron microscopy has existed for nearly a century, but a record ...

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 ...

Led by Arthur Blackburn, co-director of UVic's Advanced Microscopy Facility, the team developed a novel imaging technique that allowed them to achieve sub-Ångström resolution using a compact, ...

Electron microscopes are used to visualize the structure of solids, molecules, or nanoparticles with atomic resolution. However, most materials are not static. Rather, they interact, move, and reshape ...

Behold, the world’s fastest microscope: it works at such an astounding speed that it’s the first-ever device capable of capturing a clear image of moving electrons. This is a potentially ...

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.

Electron microscopes give us insight into the tiniest details of materials and can visualize, for example, the structure of solids, molecules or nanoparticles with atomic resolution. However, most ...
