Using a STEM-in-SEM conversion holder, we can convert a scanning electron microscope into a scanning transmission microscope.

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 ...

The exact birth of the scanning microscope principle is not clear, as the work of numerous scientists contributed to its inception. However, it is generally accepted that the first scanning microscope ...

What is Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis? Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) is a powerful technique for characterizing nanoparticles in solution. It combines laser light scattering microscopy with a ...

A fundamental difficulty of working with nanoparticles is that your objects of study are too small for an optical microscope to resolve, and thus measuring their size can be quite a challenge. Of ...

The approach could eventually enable smart materials and coatings that can switch between different optical, mechanical and electronic properties. The imaging technique lets researchers watch how ...

Physicists are using nanoparticles to develop new sources of light that will allow us to 'peel back the curtain' into the world of extremely small objects -- thousands of times smaller than a human ...

She will use single-cell injections and a microscope to track the nanoparticles and watch what happens to them over time inside individual cells. The CAREER award is considered the agency's most ...
