Like all new microscopy techniques, the modified AFM has its set backs. First, like the electron microscope or traditional AFM, the IBM setup can't be done in the open air. You need a very high level ...

However, the electron beam destroys the sample and if water is present, it tends to decompose into bubbles. Therefore, electron microscopy is suitable for visualizing inert, dead samples, while ...

Pentacene as you've never seen it before Thanks to specialised microscopes, we have long been able to see the beauty of single atoms. But strange though it might seem, imaging larger molecules at ...

Dahlberg combines the imaging techniques of cryogenic electron tomography and super-resolution fluorescence microscopy to obtain high-resolution images of things like this bacterial cell.

Since the 1930s, electron microscopes—in which beams of electrons are used to image the minute details of objects—have allowed scientists to glimpse the very smallest parts of our world.

The attomicroscope is a modified transmission electron microscope, which uses a beam of electrons to image things as small as a few nanometers across (SN: 7/16/08).Like light, electrons can be ...

The technique is sort of a combination of light microscopy, which bounces light off of objects, and electron microscopy, which bounces electrons off of objects. UC, San Diego Bringing color to ...
