A few years ago, physicists were surprised to learn that stacking and subtly twisting two atomically thin layers of an ...

Electron microscopes have played a pivotal role in developing nanotechnologies as their high spatial resolutions make it possible to visualize the smallest of structures. Now, electron microscopy has ...

Using a STEM-in-SEM conversion holder, we can convert a scanning electron microscope into a scanning transmission microscope. Neat!

The new device, a newer version of a transmission electron microscope, captures images of electrons in flight by hitting them with one- quintillionth-of-a-second electron pulses.

Electron microscopes have existed since the 1930s, and they’ve played a vital role in revealing the structure of proteins and viruses and how they work.

Best upgrade: Electron Microscopy Sciences Visio-tek Digital Microscope; Best for group study: Electron Microscopy Sciences ProScope T1; Getting a good pocket microscope isn’t exactly difficult, ...

While this isn’t quite scanning electron microscope territory, it’s good enough to clearly image the internal workings of a de-capped integrated circuit.
