With the inventions of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in 1931 and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shortly after in 1937, scientists gained an unprecedented ultrastructural view of the ...

(a) A scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the nanoneedle probe used for the measurements. (b) Elasticity map of a 1 µm × 1 µm area on the nuclear surface, showing the change in elasticity ...

What is Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy? Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy (SICM) is a non-contact scanning probe microscopy technique that enables high-resolution imaging of living cells and ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

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 ...

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 developed a method to enhance 3D imaging of lithium-ion battery electrodes, improving visualization of internal ...

Researchers say the innovation, known as SmartEM, will speed scanning sevenfold and open the field of connectomics to a ...

A unique laboratory at Michigan Tech captured microscopic photography of snowflakes in a demonstration of the lab's high-powered scanning electron microscope. The Applied Chemical and Morphological ...

If you want to build semiconductors at home, it seems like the best place to start might be to find a used scanning electron microscope on eBay. At least that’s how [Peter Bosch] kicked off his ...
