Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) can help scientists determine the three-dimensional structure of proteins in unprecedented detail. Jacques Dubochet, former group leader at EMBL, shared the 2017 ...

TEM lamella preparation is essential for almost any FIB-SEM user. Go beyond conventional TEM sample preparation with the ZEISS Crossbeam FIB-SEM. Users can maximize their productivity for TEM lamella ...

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 ...

Material fabrication processes can gradually create changes in the material’s final properties; thus, to verify the material’s final quality and comprehend any inconsistencies, scientists need a ...

For materials scientists, understanding the atomic structure of a material, revealing defects, or characterizing the chemical and physical processes that occur during the creation of material, are key ...

Microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED) has advanced structural methods across a range of sample types, from small molecules to proteins. This cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) technique ...

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 ...

Water freeze-drying has traditionally been considered an inappropriate drying method for biological samples for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) because ice crystals can potentially form and damage ...

Cryo-electron transmission microscopy helps scientists observe biological specimens in a state that closely resembles their natural environment, ...

A home machinist and microscopy enthusiast has documented a detailed technical conversion of a ...
