"This work is an excellent example of the materials advances possible when we close the feedback loop between first principles calculations and atomic resolution electron microscopy," says researcher

Recently developed superresolution (SR) microscopy breaks the diffraction limit and offers the requisite spatial resolution but usually at the cost of slow imaging speed and excessive damage

Microcalorimetry enables detailed investigation of the interactions between and thermodynamics of molecules/biomolecules and is particularly widely used in the development and manufacture of biopharmaceuticals

Using an atomic force microscope, the team of researchers has now succeeded in displaying this reaction at atomic resolution

Things to think about when buying a microscope

Depending on the type of sample being analyzed, as well as the analytical interests of the researcher, there are some configuration options which should be considered beforehand

The scientists suggested analyzing the structure of photonic crystals using optical diffraction method, that is, by looking at the light pattern generated while the sample is exposed to a laser beam

A group of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology researchers in Germany report using 3-D direct laser writing based on two-photon polymerization as a tool to fabricate custom-made probes for atomic force microscopy (AFM).

One of the main advantages of the new hybrid device is the high selectivity and speed of analysis of multi-component samples

Method developed at Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source could help researchers improve battery performance

Using their new method, the scientists have determined the forces surrounding defects in crystals

New technology platform increases spectroscopic resolution by 4 fold
