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

The exact birth of the scanning microscope principle is not clear, as the work of numerous scientists contributed to its inception. However, it is generally accepted that the first scanning microscope ...

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has revolutionized the realm of microscopic analysis. By delivering astonishingly detailed images of minuscule entities such as insects, bacteria, or even the ...

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 ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

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 ...

STARKVILLE, Miss.—Mississippi State’s Institute for Imaging and Analytical Technologies soon will be home to a scanning electron microscope so advanced that it will be the first of its kind in the ...

The Thermo Fisher Apreo 2 Variable Pressure Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) is a thermionic field emission high-resolution scanning electron microscope. The Apreo 2 FE-SEM is an ...
