The family of electron microscopy techniques have become staple methods for imaging nanoscale objects, including nanoparticles, viruses and proteins. The appeal of electron microscopy as a ...

In transmission electron microscopy (TEM), where the electron beam passes through the sample to be directly imaged on the detector below, it is often necessary to support the thin samples on a grid.

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

Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy — a specialized imaging technique that looks for a change in the color of ...

Dr. Michael Rauscher, Senior Director of the ZEISS Microscopy Materials Science Division, speaks to AZoM about field emission scanning electron microscopy - what it is, how it has developed since its ...

A Czech and Spanish-led research team has demonstrated the ability to distinguish subtle differences between magnetic ground ...

With highly specialized instruments, we can see materials on the nanoscale – but we can’t see what many of them do. That limits researchers’ ability to develop new therapeutics and new technologies ...

Figure 1. Slag activated with KOH SE images with EDS spectrum, curve 1 is the particle and curve 2 is the background. Alkali-activated materials are considered third-generation binders after lime and ...

A team of researchers has built a prototype microscope that does not rely on backscattered radiation, instead uses passive detection of thermally excited evanescent waves. They have examined ...
