When you’ve got a scanning electron microscope sitting around ... is upping his SEM game with a new rig to improve image capture (video link) and more easily create animated GIFs and videos.

Following is a transcript of the video. This isn’t some alien planet It’s cannabis! These images were taken with a scanning electron ... Marijuana Under the Microscope” is a book by Ted ...

Until now. Two laboratories recently used cryo-electron microscopy to directly image atoms in a protein molecule with a resolution of about 1.2 x 10-7 millimeters or 1.2 ångströms. The previous ...

The efforts of microscopists have given aberration-corrected transmission electron ... images of crystals, almost as though they had been taken with a very high-magnification light-optical microscope.

Scanning Electron Microscopy ... the resulting images. However, maintaining such a vacuum is challenging and calls for meticulous preparation and sample handling. Some samples may also respond poorly ...

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 unique formation of electrons is called the Wigner crystal (also called electron ice). This crystal holds importance ... For the first time, LBL researchers have captured direct images of the ...
