Physicists have created the world’s fastest microscope, and it’s so quick that it can spot electrons in motion. The new device, a newer version of a transmission electron microscope ...

According to [Asianometry], no one believed in the scanning electron microscope. No one, that is, except [Charles Oatley].The video below tells the whole story. The Cambridge graduate built radios ...

The term suggests a device for scanning broccoli, but it is utter nonsense. There are scanning electron microscopes and tunnelling electron microscopes, but not vegetative electron microscopes.

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 ...

The attomicroscope is a modified transmission electron microscope, which uses a beam of electrons to image things as small as a few nanometers across (SN: 7/16/08). Like light, electrons can be ...

Scripps Research scientists used a cryo-electron microscope to create this image of a piece of the potentially deadly Lassa virus. (Hailee Perrett, Scripps Research) The “resolution revolution ...

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 ...

Atomic-scale imaging emerged in the mid-1950s and has been advancing rapidly ever since—so much so, that back in 2008, physicists successfully used an electron microscope to image a single ...

There were many technical challenges. "If you want to see protein complexes in such fine detail, you need an electron microscope," explains Nico Sommerdijk, Professor of Bone Biochemistry at ...

Cheese fungus, head lice, human sperm, a bee eye, a microplastic bobble: scientific photographer Steve Gschmeissner has imaged them all under the probing lens of a scanning electron microscope (SEM).
