Multi-colour electron microscopy (MCEM) combines ultrastructural electron data with elemental information, transforming traditionally grey scale electron micrographs into colourful images that combine ...

THE wave-length of the beam of an electron microscope, compared with visible light, is the property akin to colour. The beam is ‘monochromatic’ and it is standard practice to maintain it so within ...

Electron microscopy is unique in its ability to provide high-resolution cellular imaging, but it does not give information about the location of specific proteins in a cell. Labelling with ...

TEM works by accelerating electrons, typically with energies between 80 and 300 kV, and directing them through a specimen thin enough for electron transmission. Because of their very short wavelength ...

TEM works by transmitting a beam of electrons through an ultra-thin specimen. As the electrons interact with the specimen, they are scattered or transmitted, producing an image that is magnified and ...

Microscopy techniques have been around for many decades and are always improving. The field itself has had to improve because the samples being analyzed have been getting smaller and smaller, ...

A team of physicists have achieved attosecond time resolution in a transmission electron microscope by combining it with a continuous-wave laser -- new insights into light-matter interactions.

Protein structures found naturally in bacteria can be used as electron-microscope-compatible gene reporters in animal cells. Researchers in Germany have shown that enzymes carried within cage-like ...

To ensure that the tissue structures of biological samples are easily recognizable under the electron microscope, they are ...

Conventional light microscopy has its limits. Light, being a wave, is subject to diffraction which severely limits the size of structures one can resolve. To be able to observe parts of an organism ...

This instrument is an ultra-high-resolution scanning electron microscope capable of secondary-electron image resolution of 1.2 nm. It is fully digital and incorporates an image archiving computer.
