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

Compared to traditional electron microscopy, it lowers both cost and technical barriers. "At the current resolution of the images—20 nanometers—synapses can already be identified. We managed to ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Electron microscopy has existed for nearly a century, but a record ...

A team of researchers has developed the first transmission electron microscope which operates at the temporal resolution of a single attosecond, allowing for the first still-image of an electron in ...

Electron microscopy (EM) has become an indispensable tool for investigating the nanoscale structure of a large range of materials, across physical and life sciences. It is vital for characterisation ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...
