Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which ...

Scientists at the University of Konstanz in Germany have advanced ultrafast electron microscopy to unprecedented time resolution. Reporting in Science Advances, the research team presents a method for ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

Installed in a custom Titan Krios, the laser phase plate enhances motion correction, early‑frame recovery, and 3D classification and alignment.

Fifteen years ago, physicists worked out a method to increase image contrast by hitting the electron imaging beam with an ...

Electron microscopy (EM) has become an indispensable tool for investigating the nanoscale structure of a large range of materials, across physical and life sciences. It is vital for characterisation ...

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 ...
