The family of electron microscopy techniques have become staple methods for imaging nanoscale objects, including nanoparticles, viruses and proteins. The appeal of electron microscopy as a ...

The Helmholtz Center for Materials and Energy in Berlin, Germany (HZB, originally known as Hahn-Meitner Institute, HMI) has developed a novel technique for the cross-sectional sample preparation for ...

The images produced with a cryo-electron microscope can only be as good as the sample that goes into it. That's why Jiro Usukura, at the Structural Biology Research Center, Nagoya University, says ...

This article examines the use of femtosecond (fs) laser ablation for site-specific TEM sample preparation in a FIB-SEM. Various workflows are shown facilitating TEM lamella preparation of regions of ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a very popular analysis tool for 3D surface topology visualization and other measurements on a wide range of materials at nanoscales ...

SPT Labtech Ltd, a global leader in the design and development of automated instrumentation and consumables for life science applications, has today announced the introduction of chameleon, an ...

Sample preparation will vary depending on the sample, imaging mode, and size of desired images. You will likely need to do a literature search to find the preparation best for your sample. Smaller ...

(Nanowerk News) National University of Singapore (NUS) physicists have developed a computational imaging technique to extract three-dimensional (3D) information from a single two-dimensional (2D) ...

In the single-beam FIB, such as our Hitachi FB-2000A FIB, some milling will occur during observation of the specimen. Surface features, such as thin films, can be milled away during this process. In ...
