Using a new, lightning-fast camera paired with an electron microscope, Columbia University Medical Center scientists have captured images of one of the smallest proteins in our cells to be "seen" with ...

Imagine owning a camera so powerful it can take freeze-frame photographs of a moving electron—an object traveling so fast it could circle the Earth many times in a matter of a second. Researchers at ...

A new scientific instrument at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory promises to capture some of nature's speediest processes. It uses a method known as ultrafast electron ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which garnered a Nobel Prize in 1953, brought into clear view structures inside ...

Scientists have caught fast-moving hydrogen atoms—the keys to countless biological and chemical reactions—in action. A team led by researchers at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator ...

Electron microscopy based on high-energy electrons allows nanoscopic analytical imaging taking advantage of secondarily generated particles. Especially for cathodoluminescence, the correlation between ...

The OM System Tough TG-7 is my go-to compact camera for beach vacations and macro shots – but the company has just re-imagined the camera for the lab. The OM System TG-7 Industry takes the waterproof ...

Scanning transmission electron microscopy, or STEM, is a powerful imaging technique that enables researchers to study a material’s morphology, composition, and bonding behavior at the angstrom scale.

One solution to the problem of imperfect tiling with round beams is to use a square electron beam. Modern cryo-TEMs use Mueller-type sources in which the emitter’s shape defines the electron beam ...
