A microscopic 'Christmas tree' is a seasonal look at a remarkable science project that found eerie comparisons between the ...

A microscope image of two exceptional threads of silk from the Australian net-caster spider has been announced as the winner of the Royal Society Publishing Photography Competition 2025. The ...

The ability to precisely study and manipulate electrons in electron microscopes could open new possibilities for the development of both ultrafast imaging techniques and quantum technologies. Over the ...

A new dual-light microscope lets researchers observe micro- and nanoscale activity inside living cells without using dyes. The system captures both detailed structures and tiny moving particles at ...

TEM works by accelerating electrons, typically with energies between 80 and 300 kV, and directing them through a specimen thin enough for electron transmission. Because of their very short wavelength ...
