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 electron microscope has been used in hair research for half a century, but the knowledge gained through this study has become rather fragmented over the years. While the molecular biological ...

Today we are machining some metal inside the scanning electron microscope! By creating a custom fixture, we can manually ...

To ensure that the tissue structures of biological samples are easily recognisable under the electron microscope, they are treated with a staining agent. The standard staining agent for this is ...

Scanning transmission electron microscopy, or STEM, is a powerful imaging technique that enables researchers to study a material’s morphology, composition, and bonding behavior at the angstrom scale.

A scanning electron microscope reveals nematodes (highlighted in green) inside the spongy mesophyll of a European beech (Fagus sylvatica) leaf infected with beech leaf disease (BLD). Eggs are marked ...
