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 ...

Knowledge of the microscopic structure and composition of materials is essential for understanding their properties and designing functional devices. Microscopy techniques based on electrons and X ...

The new device, a newer version of a transmission electron microscope, captures images of electrons in flight by hitting them with one- quintillionth-of-a-second electron pulses. This is quite a ...

This unique formation of electrons is called the Wigner crystal (also called electron ice). This crystal holds importance in ...

[Zach] also has an atomic force microscope, which he used to make these beautiful images ... Homebrew IC expert Sam Zeloof has also used electron beams in his work. Thanks for the tip ...

Transmission electron microscopy generates an image of the internal structure of a thin sample. Scanning electron microscopy generates a topological image of a sample. Phospholipid distribution ...

A LEO (Zeiss) 435 Variable Pressure scanning electron microscope with an Oxford x-ray microanalysis system is also in the facility. The instrument can capture both digital (Zip disks required) or film ...
