Atomic-scale imaging emerged in the mid-1950s and has been advancing rapidly ever since—so much so, that back in 2008, physicists successfully used an electron microscope to image a single ...

In a conventional microscope, aberrations can be fixed by honing the glass lenses that focus light. But aberrations are much harder to correct in electron microscopes, which work by scanning an ...

A simple retrofit transforms electron microscopes into high-speed atom-scale cameras. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2020 / 02 / 200224131118.htm ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have developed a powerful method to look deep inside single-atom catalysts—materials where every ...

An electron microscope can't just snap a photo like a mobile phone camera can. The ability of an electron microscope to image a structure - and how successful this imaging will be - depends on how ...

Researchers at Leti, a CEA Tech institute, recently developed an electron holography technique capable of imaging material structures with a spatial resolution of just one atom. Electron holography, a ...

A new method in electron microscopy enables sub-20-picometer targeting of individual atoms without prior exposure, opening ...

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, captures ...
