Max Knoll and Ernst Ruska. In the 1920s, de Broglie proposed the wave-particle duality of matter, which became a cornerstone for electron microscopy. Ruska, along with his doctoral advisor Knoll, ...

Physicists have created the world’s fastest microscope, and it’s so quick that it can spot electrons in motion. The new device, a newer version of a transmission electron microscope ...

in 1953 to Frits Zernike for the phase-contrast biological microscope; and in 1986 to Ernst Ruska for the electron microscope and to Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer for the scanning tunnelling ...

When all you’ve got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. And when you’ve got a scanning electron microscope, everything must look like a sample that would be really, really interesting ...

I used to have access to some pretty nice Scanning Electron Microscopes (a SEM) at my day job. While they are a bit more complex than a 3D printer, they are awfully handy when you need them.

Researchers at the University of Arizona have created the world’s fastest electron microscope, a remarkable device capable of ...

Mohammed Hassan, a UA associate professor of physics and optical sciences, likens transmission electron microscopes to a smartphone’s camera. “When you get the latest version of a smartphone ...

Ultrafast electron microscopes previously operated by emitting a train of electron pulses at speeds of a few attoseconds. An attosecond is one quintillionth of a second. Pulses at these speeds ...

So although it is extremely tempting to think of atomic structures as being shadow-cast in an electron microscope, this view is incorrect and misleading. As the electron waves propagate through ...

Electron microscopes use a focused beam of electrons instead of light to "image" the specimen and gain information as to its structure and composition. Common types of information yielded are ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful imaging technique that utilizes a beam of accelerated electrons to visualize and analyze the structure, composition, and properties of materials at the nanoscale.

SEM stands for scanning electron microscope. The SEM is a microscope that uses electrons instead of light to form an image. Since their development in the early 1950's, scanning electron microscopes ...
