Scientists use scanning tunneling microscopy to understand how a material's electronic or magnetic properties relate to its ...

Atomic-scale detail is now possible with photons, thanks to a cooled-down silver tip and a clever use of plasmonics.

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging is essential for investigating cellular structure and dynamics. Traditional optical methods ...

"The electron microscope has been used in hair research for half a century, but the knowledge gained through this study has become rather fragmented over the years. While the molecular biological ...

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