The electron microscope is a type of microscope that uses a beam of electrons to create an image of the specimen. It is capable of much higher magnifications and has a greater resolving power than a ...

Light microscopy is used to make small structures and samples visible by providing a magnified image of how they interact with visible light, e.g., their absorption, reflection and scattering. This is ...

The magnification of a microscope is not the only factor that’s important when viewing cells. The detail that can be seen is also important. Think about a digital photo. It can be enlarged, but over a ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have shown for the first time that expensive aberration-corrected microscopes are no longer required to achieve record-breaking ...

Late 1600s – Dutch scientist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek constructed a microscope with a single spherical lens. It magnified up to ×275. 1800s - the optical quality of lenses increased and microscopes are ...

Our Electron Microscopy Facility, based in our labs in Chelsea, houses two ThermoFisher Scientific transmission electron microscopes (TEM) – a Tecnai F20 and a Glacios. It is open primarily to ...

A comparison of experimental annular dark field (ADF)-scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and electron ptychography in uncorrected and aberration-corrected electron microscopes. In the ...
