This article has been updated in January 2024. High resolution images of microscopic samples can be obtained experimentally using Scanning Electron Transmission Microscopy (STEM). It is an effective ...

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

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 ...

Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM) represents a significant evolution of conventional scanning electron microscopy. By utilising variable pressure conditions rather than the high vacuum ...

Goethe University Frankfurt (Germany) ceremonially commissioned a state-of-the-art cryo plasma-FIB scanning electron microscope with nanomanipulator worth more than 5 million euros on Thursday. The ...

In the world of nanotechnology, where structures are measured in billionths of a meter, precise imaging and measurement techniques are essential. Critical Dimension Scanning Electron Microscopy ...

The ability to achieve spatial resolutions that are greater than is possible in standard optical microscopy is what makes electron microscopy so important for the investigation of nanoscale structures ...

Attending the RAISe+ Scheme Signing Ceremony are Professor Chen Fu-Rong (2nd left) and his research team members: Professor Hsueh Yu-Chun (1st left), Dr Chen Yan (2nd right) and Mr Chen Yuchi (1st ...

STEM operates by focusing a beam of electrons into a narrow probe that is scanned across a thin specimen. As the electrons interact with the sample, they are either scattered or transmitted. The ...
