The wavelength of an electron can be up to 100,000 times shorter than that of a photon, which means that microscopes that use electrons to illuminate a sample are able to resolve much smaller ...

Electron microscopes are used to visualize the structure of solids, molecules, or nanoparticles with atomic resolution. However, most materials are not static. Rather, they interact, move, and reshape ...

Electron microscopy has become a vital tool in structural biology, enabling researchers to visualize biological macromolecules at near-atomic resolution. Recent advances have transformed it from a low ...

Researchers have succeeded in filming the interactions of light and matter in an electron microscope with attosecond time resolution. Electron microscopes give us insight into the tiniest details of ...

A comparison of experimental annular dark field (ADF)-scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and electron ptychography in uncorrected and aberration-corrected electron microscopes. In the ...

A new technique that combines electron microscopy and laser technology enables programmable, arbitrary shaping of electron beams. It can potentially be used for optimizing electron optics and for ...
