To ensure that the tissue structures of biological samples are easily recognizable under the electron microscope, they are ...

Researchers at TU Graz have proven that espresso is a favourable alternative to the highly toxic and radioactive uranyl acetate in the analysis of biological samples.

Meteorites are fragments of asteroids which find their way to Earth as shooting stars and provide information on the origins of our solar system. A team of researchers has examined the so-called ...

Scientists at the Technical University of Graz have proposed using regular coffee as an alternative to traditional contrast media in the preparation of biological samples for electron microscopy. This ...

Researchers have identified a common household beverage as an effective, non-toxic substitute for the hazardous chemicals ...

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

Advances in electron microscopy instrumentation and methods have greatly spurred progress in the physical and life sciences. The 3rd edition of this conference will bring together researchers from ...

Traditional electron microscopy techniques include scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), where electrons that interact with the sample are imaged. 4 The ...

They can image a wide range of materials and biological samples with high magnification, resolution, and depth of field, thereby revealing surface structure and chemical composition. Industries like ...

Researchers at Graz University of Technology found that ordinary espresso can replace toxic uranyl acetate for electron ...

Using a nanomanipulator and an ultra-fine ion beam, a tiny lamella, about five by ten micrometres in size and only one hundred nanometres thin, is cut out of the meteorite and attached to a sample bar ...
