Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons ...

Electron microscopy has become a vital tool in structural biology, enabling researchers to visualize biological macromolecules at near-atomic resolution. Recent advances have transformed it from a low ...

Scientists at the University of Konstanz in Germany have advanced ultrafast electron microscopy to unprecedented time resolution. Reporting in Science Advances, the research team presents a method for ...

(Nanowerk News) The precise control of electron beams in so-called transmission electron microscopes (TEM) makes it possible to analyze materials or molecules at the atomic level. Combined with short ...

When light passes through a material, it often behaves in unpredictable ways. This phenomenon is the subject of “nonlinear optics”, which is now integral to technological and scientific advances – ...

A comparison of experimental annular dark field (ADF)-scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and electron ptychography in uncorrected and aberration-corrected electron microscopes. In the ...

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 ...

One variation of electron microscopy is transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In a TEM experiment, the electron beam passes through the sample and the electrons are directly imaged onto an electron ...
