The Thermo Scientific Quattro ESEM offers comprehensive performance in both imaging and analytics, featuring a distinctive environmental mode (ESEM) that enables the examination of samples in their ...

The Department of Invertebrate Zoology at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History’s Collections & Research Center (CRC) upgraded its scanning electron microscope (SEM) in June, switching from the ...

Students and faculty will soon see the world in a new light on campus. The College has won a grant to purchase a scanning electron microscope (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) ...

Traditional scanning electron microscopy (SEM) requires samples to be placed in a high-vacuum environment, which can alter or damage volatile, moist, or non-conductive materials. 1,2,3 This limitation ...

This article has been updated in January 2024. High resolution images of microscopic samples can be obtained experimentally using Scanning Electron Transmission Microscopy (STEM). It is an effective ...

The ability to achieve spatial resolutions that are greater than is possible in standard optical microscopy is what makes electron microscopy so important for the investigation of nanoscale structures ...

Nucleation is a ubiquitous phenomenon that governs the formation of both droplets and bubbles in systems used for condensation, desalination, water splitting, crystal growth, and many other important ...

The development of new forms of transmission electron microscopes that combine the features of both transmission electron microscopes and scanning electron microscopes will fuel the growth of the ...

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 ...

A new microscopy technique allows researchers to directly observe the process of nucleation, which leads to the formation of droplets and bubbles on surfaces. The advance may facilitate the design of ...
