Originally, explanatory conflicts hampered the use of freeze-fracture, but once these were remedied, the method prospered during the 1970s and 1980s, offering breakthroughs in the interpretation of ...

The Electron Microscopy shared resource offers techniques that allow researchers to resolve structures from cellular ultrastructure all the way down to molecular interactions. Our expertise in EM ...

Researchers and industries have been using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study semiconductors' stacking and dislocation faults. This article considers the analysis of crystal structures.

A team of researchers at the University of Victoria (UVic) have achieved an advance in electron microscopy that will allow scientists to visualize atomic-scale structures with unprecedented clarity ...

Traditional electron microscopy techniques include scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), where electrons that interact with the sample are imaged. 4 The ...

Researchers have succeeded in filming the interactions of light and matter in an electron microscope with attosecond time resolution. Electron microscopes give us insight into the tiniest details of ...

In situ transmission electron microscopy combines the image-capturing abilities of the TEM with real-time observations of how materials react to changes in external conditions such as electric or ...

After 15 years of research, the late, Nobel Prize-winning, scientist Roger Tsien and his colleagues bring multicolor labels to electron microscopy. Three new discoveries have already emerged. Every ...

This instrument is an ultra-high-resolution scanning electron microscope capable of secondary-electron image resolution of 1.2 nm. It is fully digital and incorporates an image archiving computer.
