A scanning probe microscope comes in a wide variety of flavors, they all produce a set of data points containing the measurements at each location. Usually these data points form a regular 2D grid, ...

At its core, SPM operates on the principle of measuring interactions between a sharp probe and the surface of a material. As the probe scans across the surface, it detects variations in physical ...

According to [Asianometry], no one believed in the scanning electron microscope. No one, that is, except [Charles Oatley].The video below tells the whole story. The Cambridge graduate built radios ...

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

A theme of this month’s column is education. Most of the sites I’ve covered this month have a strong educational component and Principle of Scanning Probe Microscopy is no exception. With content ...

Scanning probe lithography (SPL) represents a rapidly evolving class of nanofabrication techniques that utilise the precision of scanning probe microscopy to directly manipulate material surfaces at ...

Since the first transmission electron microscope was sold in 1935, microscopes that use electrons--rather than light waves--to image objects have brought into focus levels of detail that were ...

The Thermo Fisher Apreo 2 Variable Pressure Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) is a thermionic field emission high-resolution scanning electron microscope. The Apreo 2 FE-SEM is an ...

An international research team has succeeded in controlling the chirality of individual molecules through structural isomerization. The team also succeeded in synthesizing highly reactive diradicals ...

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 ...

Researchers say the innovation, known as SmartEM, will speed scanning sevenfold and open the field of connectomics to a broader research community, boosting our understanding of brain function and ...
