A new method published in Nature Methods removes much of the guesswork and time-consuming optimization from sample ...

The family of electron microscopy techniques have become staple methods for imaging nanoscale objects, including nanoparticles, viruses and proteins. The appeal of electron microscopy as a ...

The proliferation of micro- and nanotechnology has created an inflection point for high-resolution imaging and analysis. In addition to the downscaling of features being produced, the substrate size ...

This article examines the use of femtosecond (fs) laser ablation for site-specific TEM sample preparation in a FIB-SEM. Various workflows are shown facilitating TEM lamella preparation of regions of ...

In recent decades, the preparation of samples for transmission electron microscopes has transformed, thanks to the introduction of focused ion beam (FIB) instruments. Known as either single-beam or ...

In this way, and almost by chance, researchers at TU Wien developed a novel microscopy technique that allows the refractive index of biological samples to be measured at a resolution far below what ...

Prepare samples by coating, drying, etching, milling, polishing, and sectioning. The Leica CPD 030 Critical Point Dryer is a critical point drying device for biological and industrial samples. It uses ...

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 ...

The Center for Advanced Microscopy and Imaging (CAMI) is an all-university research, teaching, and service facility located in Upham Hall on Miami University's main campus, in Oxford, Ohio. CAMI ...
