Scientists at the University of Konstanz in Germany have advanced ultrafast electron microscopy to unprecedented time resolution. Reporting in Science Advances, the research team presents a method for ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

A new type of advanced microscope (wide-field coherent multidimensional microscopy) has been developed. It uses a carefully ...

For decades, the scanning tunnelling microscope has been the gold standard for seeing matter one atom at a time. By hovering a sharpened metal tip a few atoms’ widths above a surface and measuring t ...

An example of the images of viruses obtainable with cryo-CLEM. These images show pseudotyped HIV-1 particles being taken into the cell, with viral membrane as light blue, mature core as yellow, and ...

A laser (purple) is powerfully amplified by highly polished mirrors and focused on the electron beam (blue) to shift its phase and increase the cryo-EM microscope’s contrast, allowing biologists to ...

Back in 2008, the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA, or CNSI, debuted a one-of-a-kind resource for understanding biology at the smallest scales — a state-of-the-art cryo-electron microscope. By ...

The motion of whizzing electrons has been captured like never before. Researchers have developed a laser-based microscope that snaps images at attosecond — or a billionth of a billionth of a second — ...

The FEI 200kV Titan Themis Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (STEM) is a scanning transmission electron microscope with several key capabilities. This microscope positions Michigan Tech ...
