Researchers catalogue the artifacts that arise when biological samples are imaged by optical scanning transmission electron ...

Bioz, Inc., an artificial intelligence (AI) platform analyzing nearly 50 million scientific documents, launched Bioz Badges on Quorum Technologies product pages to embed citation data into the direct ...

Immobilized microorganisms are collected on a membrane filter and rinsed with pure water. The hydrated specimen is frozen by gently contacting it with a copper block pre-cooled to -80°C, then mounted ...

A new method published in Nature Methods removes much of the guesswork and time-consuming optimization from sample preparation for cryo-electron microscopy and tomography (cryo-EM/ET). To image ...

The proliferation of micro- and nanotechnology has created an inflection point for high-resolution imaging and analysis. In addition to the downscaling of features being produced, the substrate size ...

A comprehensive scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis necessitates high-quality specimen preparation. Traditional mechanical sample preparation techniques, such as grinding, polishing, ...

STEM operates by focusing a beam of electrons into a narrow probe that is scanned across a thin specimen. As the electrons interact with the sample, they are either scattered or transmitted. The ...

Environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) extends conventional scanning electron microscopy by permitting investigation of specimens in gaseous or hydrated states, thus preserving near-native ...

Observations at the nanoscale can provide profound insights into materials science. Yet, the characterization of beam-sensitive and reactive materials has proven challenging. In order to address this ...

Automated sample preparation eliminates critical workflow bottlenecks in structural biology and materials science by replacing multi-day manual sectioning with integrated robotics. This functional ...

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 1950s, scanning electron microscopes ...
