Cryo-electron microscopy with energy resolution, using the EELS-STEM method, allows researchers to identify the approximate locations of certain heavier atoms within single frozen, hydrated protein ...

The technique implemented was able to correct for defocusing due to minor focus shifts by analyzing reconstructed electron waves. Thanks to this approach, the resulting images were free of residual ...

A new AI model generates realistic synthetic microscope images of atoms, providing scientists with reliable training data to accelerate materials research and atomic scale analysis. (Nanowerk ...

Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing instruments capable of resolving them with any clarity. The journey from the first ...

The 2D materials comprise a single or double layer of atoms, so investigating their properties requires the use of electron microscopy. Point defects—such as missing atoms—can be instrumental in ...

A new method in electron microscopy enables sub-20-picometer targeting of individual atoms without prior exposure, opening the door to atom-specific analysis and control. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which ...

Felipe Rivera, director of the microscopy facility at BYU, stands in front of one of the university’s new transmission electron microscopes, which will allow undergraduate students to capture 3D ...

For the purpose of enhancing the structural insights within the three-dimensional composition fields revealed by atom probe tomography, correlative microscopy approaches, combining (scanning) ...

Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley physicists' new technique offers detailed images of the small molecules and cell structures that ...
