Felipe Rivera, director of the microscopy facility at BYU, stands in front of one of the university’s new transmission electron microscopes, which will allow undergraduate students to capture 3D ...

Since the 1950s, scientists have worked around this problem by coating samples with a thin layer of gold before imaging. While this approach made electron microscopy possible for countless discoveries ...

There are a lot of situations where a research group may turn to an electron microscope to get information about whatever system they might be studying. Assessing the structure of a virus or protein, ...

A new way of imaging frozen biological samples using electron microscopy is providing new glimpses into the nanoscopic world of cells. Images reveal bent in-vitro tubulin microtubules next to and in a ...

In this article, we look at some of the key developments of various microscopy techniques over the last few years and how they have benefitted different areas of research and development. The impact ...

SEM stands for scanning electron microscope. The SEM is a microscope that uses electrons instead of light to form an image. Since their development in the early 1950's, scanning electron microscopes ...

“To improve transistor density and electronic performance, next-generation semiconductor devices are adopting three-dimensional architectures and feature sizes down to the few-nm regime, which require ...
