For looking at really small stuff, an optical microscope will only go so far. Looking at things at the nanometer level, though, usually requires some sort of electron microscope, with all the ...

Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy is a super-resolution imaging technique that overcomes the diffraction limit of conventional optical microscopy. It enables the visualization of ...

Every day things look alien under a microscope, and something we think of fondly might be the stuff of nightmares when seen from this new perspective. Here are 23 normal things that might make you ...

[Birdbrain] is trying to make their own microfluidic devices. To aid in this quest, they need a quality microscope to see what they’re doing. Instead of buying one outright, they purchased a ...

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy is a subset of Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM), a group of techniques that image and manipulate surfaces at the nanometer to atomic scales. SPM techniques share the ...

This is an exciting time for polymer electron microscopy. Recent improvements in instrumentation are pushing resolution limits to remarkable new heights, achieving imaging at 0.5 Å, while dual beam ...
