Cryo-electron microscopy has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of a virus able to infect Staphylococcus epidermidis, and high-resolution ...

When Gang Ren whirls the controls of his cryo-electron microscope, he compares it to fine-tuning the gearshift and brakes of a racing bicycle. But this machine at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s ...

We can directly see the hidden world of atoms thanks to electron microscopes, first developed in the 1930s. Today, electron microscopes, which use beams of electrons to illuminate and magnify a sample ...

They can image a wide range of materials and biological samples with high magnification, resolution, and depth of field, thereby revealing surface structure and chemical composition. Industries like ...

There’s an old joke that you can’t trust atoms — they make up everything. But until fairly recently, there was no real way to see individual atoms. You could infer things about them using X-ray ...

TEM works by transmitting a beam of electrons through an ultra-thin specimen. As the electrons interact with the specimen, they are scattered or transmitted, producing an image that is magnified and ...

This instrument is an advanced and digitally dedicated transmission electron microscope operating at 200kV with a field-emission gun. It is capable of an ultimate point-to-point resolution of 0.19 nm, ...

Voxa CEO Chris Own stands in the middle of a living room that’s been converted into a workshop for building and testing electron microscopes. (GeekWire Photo / Alan Boyle) SHORELINE, Wash. — Running a ...

TEM works by accelerating electrons, typically with energies between 80 and 300 kV, and directing them through a specimen thin enough for electron transmission. Because of their very short wavelength ...
