When all you’ve got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. And when you’ve got a scanning electron microscope, everything must look like a sample that would be really, really interesting ...

Mohammed Hassan, a UA associate professor of physics and optical sciences, likens transmission electron microscopes to a smartphone’s camera. “When you get the latest version of a smartphone ...

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 ...

Find out more about how we test. The Celestron PentaView LCD digital microscope has been a joy to review, and we loved being able to use it as a whole class. Pupils have learned so much ...

Huang and her team have shown that their approach quadruples the resolution of conventional transmission electron microscopes. Further, nearly any scanning transmission electron microscope can now ...

SEM stands for scanning electron microscope. The SEM is a microscope that uses electrons instead of light to form an image. Since their development in the early 1950's, scanning electron microscopes ...

Hans Busch invented the first electromagnetic lens in 1926 and, although he allegedly filed a patent for an electron microscope in 1928, he did not construct the microscope. It was Ernst Ruska and ...

If you want to build semiconductors at home, it seems like the best place to start might be to find a used scanning electron microscope on eBay. At least that’s how [Peter Bosch] kicked off his ...
