Unlike Scanning Electron Microscopy that bounces electrons off the surface of a sample to produce an image, Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEMs) shoot the electrons completely through the sample.

The FIB uses a variation on the Everhart-Thornley (ET) secondary electron detector. Secondary ions are also produced in the beam-specimen volume and can be used for imaging; however, the Hitachi ...

The first of two advanced microscopes has been installed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. TEAM 0.5 is the world's most powerful transmission electron microscope and is capable of producing ...

It may not have won an Oscar, but the tiny electron has finally made its film debut. A new video shows how an electron rides on a light wave after just having been pulled away from an atom. This is ...

image: The metallic tip of a scanning tunneling microscope drives the magnetic quantum state of an iron atom into a different direction while injected electrons destroy this state superposition. This ...

Static electricity works because electrons are strongly attracted to protons, right? But, in atoms, electrons are right there, next to the protons in the nucleus. Why don’t the electrons zip directly ...
