When Dr. Amanda Stadermann loads a meteorite sample into the Department of Earth and Environmental Science’s new scanning ...

Scientists use scanning tunneling microscopy to understand how a material's electronic or magnetic properties relate to its structure on the atomic scale. When using this technique, however, they can ...

The exact birth of the scanning microscope principle is not clear, as the work of numerous scientists contributed to its inception. However, it is generally accepted that the first scanning microscope ...

Tescan has introduced the new generation of Tescan CLARA™, an ultra-high-resolution scanning electron microscope for ...

What is Scanning X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Microscopy? Scanning X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Microscopy is a powerful analytical technique that enables the visualization and quantification of the elemental ...

Since the first transmission electron microscope was sold in 1935, microscopes that use electrons--rather than light waves--to image objects have brought into focus levels of detail that were ...

A research team at UCLA, led by Professor Aydogan Ozcan, has introduced BlurryScope, a compact, cost-effective scanning microscope that combines simple optical hardware with advanced deep learning ...

Through-Focus Scanning Optical Microscopy (TSOM) is a non-destructive optical metrology technique that harnesses multiple through-focus images to resolve three-dimensional features of micro- and ...

STEM operates by focusing a beam of electrons into a narrow probe that is scanned across a thin specimen. As the electrons interact with the sample, they are either scattered or transmitted. The ...

A Czech and Spanish-led research team has demonstrated the ability to distinguish subtle differences between magnetic ground states using a new form of scanning probe microscopy. In the last few years ...

Darwin Quiroz is exploring new frontiers in miniature lasers with major biomedical applications. When Quiroz first started working with optics as an undergraduate, he was developing atomic ...
