Researchers have demonstrated a technique that allows them to track microscopic changes in metals or other materials in real time even when the materials are exposed to extreme heat and loads for an ...

As the development of contemporary materials has continued to advance from the macro scale to nanoscale, the requirement for sophisticated microscopy techniques has increased dramatically. Scanning ...

When studying biological systems, understanding structure and chemistry often calls for different approaches. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is particularly useful for revealing ultrastructural ...

In the field of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) method has developed into a robust tool for the crystallographic analysis of materials. Specifically, ...

Long seen as a reliable workhorse, the scanning electron microscope also has a more exciting side. Debbie Stokes explains why a ‘quiet revolution’ is occurring in some SEM labs. Since the first ...

In this interview, we speak to Martin Slama at TESCAN, who describes sample preparation using high current plasma FIB SEM. Can you describe what high current plasma FIB-SEM is? The high current plasma ...

To explore the ultrastructure of subgingival dental plaque using high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and to investigate whether extracellular DNA (eDNA) could be ...

Pollen grains of taxa representing the four described pollen types of Fagus and Nothofagus were observed with the scanning electron microscope to determine preparation effects. Pollen grains were ...
