The family of electron microscopy techniques have become staple methods for imaging nanoscale objects, including nanoparticles, viruses and proteins. The appeal of electron microscopy as a ...

In transmission electron microscopy (TEM), where the electron beam passes through the sample to be directly imaged on the detector below, it is often necessary to support the thin samples on a grid.

An international team led by researchers from the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), Germany, has used advanced ...

Preparation of a sample for cryo electron microscopy molecular structural biology studies in David Veesler's lab at UW Medicine in Seattle, Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the ...

To ensure that the tissue structures of biological samples are easily recognizable under the electron microscope, they are treated with a staining agent. The standard staining agent for this is uranyl ...

Not all defects are visible with the same microscope. Explore how resolution, contrast, and signal interpretation shape ...

Cornell researchers have used high-resolution 3D imaging to detect, for the first time, the atomic-scale defects in computer chips that can sabotage their performance. The imaging method, which was ...
