When you try to look at the cross-section of a newly developed alloy or try to determine the cause of a broken part, have you ever wondered, "Where did this crack start?" or "How big are the grains on ...

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has revolutionized the realm of microscopic analysis. By delivering astonishingly detailed images of minuscule entities such as insects, bacteria, or even the ...

Led by Arthur Blackburn, co-director of UVic's Advanced Microscopy Facility, the team developed a novel imaging technique that allowed them to achieve sub-Ångström resolution using a compact, ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

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.

In this video Microscopy Specialist takes a look at a vinyl record, stylus, and cartridge under a hugely powerful scanning electron microscope (SEM) with up to 100,000× magnification and ~10 nm ...
