Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) can help scientists determine the three-dimensional structure of proteins in unprecedented detail. Jacques Dubochet, former group leader at EMBL, shared the 2017 ...

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 ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a very popular analysis tool for 3D surface topology visualization and other measurements on a wide range of materials at nanoscales ...

This article examines the use of femtosecond (fs) laser ablation for site-specific TEM sample preparation in a FIB-SEM. Various workflows are shown facilitating TEM lamella preparation of regions of ...

In recent decades, the preparation of samples for transmission electron microscopes has transformed, thanks to the introduction of focused ion beam (FIB) instruments. Known as either single-beam or ...

Prepare samples by coating, drying, etching, milling, polishing, and sectioning. The Leica CPD 030 Critical Point Dryer is a critical point drying device for biological and industrial samples. It uses ...

A new Tufts University imaging facility is doing something that most microscopy centers in the world cannot: allowing ...

Responsive technique: Jonathan Peters using an electron microscope at Trinity College Dublin (Courtesy: Lewys Jones and Jonathan Peters/Trinity College Dublin) A new scanning transmission electron ...

The new type of microscope makes light travel in a circle. That way it can interact multiple times with the sample. Everyone who ever took a photo knows the problem: if you want a detailed image, you ...
