Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Researchers have proposed a new method to form an electron lens that will help reduce installation costs for electron microscopes with atomic resolution, proliferating their use. Instead of the ...

Researchers have successfully filmed the operations of extremely fast electronic circuitry in an electron microscope at a bandwidth of tens of terahertz. Researchers at the University of Konstanz have ...

A comparison of experimental annular dark field (ADF)-scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and electron ptychography in uncorrected and aberration-corrected electron microscopes. In the ...

The demand for disposable miniature imaging platforms (DMIPs) is growing rapidly. Used for commercial, scientific, medical, and educational purposes, DMIPs have numerous applications but can be ...

It’s a problem that few of us will ever face, but if you ever have to calibrate your scanning electron microscope, you’ll need a resolution target with a high contrast under an electron beam. This ...

Ars Technica has been separating the signal from the noise for over 25 years. With our unique combination of technical savvy and wide-ranging interest in the technological arts and sciences, Ars is ...

Behold, the world’s fastest microscope: it works at such an astounding speed that it’s the first-ever device capable of capturing a clear image of moving electrons. This is a potentially ...
