Electron microscopy is a powerful imaging technique that utilizes a beam of accelerated electrons to visualize and analyze the structure, composition, and properties of materials at the nanoscale.

An international team led by researchers from the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), Germany, has used advanced ...

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 ...

Cornell researchers have used high-resolution 3D imaging to detect, for the first time, the atomic-scale defects in computer chips that can sabotage their performance. The imaging method, which was ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have shown for the first time that expensive aberration-corrected microscopes are no longer required to achieve record-breaking ...

Researchers have used a unique tool inserted into an electron microscope to create a transistor that's 25,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. An international team of researchers have ...

Research led by scientists at Washington State University has revealed insights on how plants form a microscopic landscape of proteins crucial to photosynthesis, the basis of Earth's food and energy ...

Since they came into use in 1938, electron microscopes have played a pivotal role in a host of scientific advances, including the discovery of new proteins and therapeutics and contributions made to ...

How are Electron Microscopes Used? There are a number of electron microscopy techniques, such as cryo-electron microscopy, that are normally used for imaging biological structures. Some of the most ...
