If you think your new digital camera is special with it’s 10-times zoom lens think how the people at The University of Queensland feel with their cryo-electron microscope that can get 1,000,000 ...

An electron microscope works exactly the same way, only it uses a beam of electrons instead of light. This is because the amount of magnification an optical microscope can achieve is limited by ...

Since the wavelength of an electron is much smaller than that of visible light, scanning electron microscopes are capable of imaging at much higher magnification than light microscopes. The field ...

Because the SEM uses electromagnets rather than lenses, the researcher has much more control in the degree of magnification. All of these advantages, as well as the actual strikingly clear images, ...

Today we are machining some metal inside the scanning electron microscope! By creating a ... to see what metal looks like under extreme magnification when being cut! Second US Navy jet is lost ...

Krasnow made his electron gun out of a thin tungsten ... which should allow him to scan slowly and increase the microscope’s magnification. To maintain the microscope’s thin beam of electrons ...

Scientists are reporting the first 3-D images of an individual protein ever obtained with enough clarity to determine its structure. When Gang Ren whirls the controls of his cryo-electron ...

This degree of magnification and resolution is made possible by the use of a Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope, or FIB-SEM. Ordinary microscopes will not produce the same results.
