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 ...

The Helmholtz Center for Materials and Energy in Berlin, Germany (HZB, originally known as Hahn-Meitner Institute, HMI) has developed a novel technique for the cross-sectional sample preparation for ...

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 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.

Scientists have developed the first adaptive light-sheet microscope -- an instrument that continuously analyzes and adapts to dynamic changes in a specimen and thereby improves spatial resolution.

(Nanowerk News) National University of Singapore (NUS) physicists have developed a computational imaging technique to extract three-dimensional (3D) information from a single two-dimensional (2D) ...

Modern biomedical research depends on the ability to see what is happening inside biological tissue. Among the available ...
