[Ben Krasnow] is quite possibly the only hacker with a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) collection. He’s acquired a JEOL JSM-T200, which was hot stuff back in the early 1980’s. [Ben] got a great ...

Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: ...

Under the microscope, plankton becomes an unlikely star as artist Jess Holz documents their movements to highlight both their charm and their importance to the ecosystem.

The history of the electron microscope dates back to early twentieth century when the first electromagnetic lens was developed. This opened the door of possibility to use the principles of the lens to ...

Physicists in Leiden have built a microscope that can measure no fewer than four key properties of a material in a single scan, all with nanoscale precision. The instrument can even examine complete ...

This degree of magnification and resolution is made possible by the use of a Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope, or FIB-SEM. Ordinary microscopes will not produce the same results. Curious ...

We've got a feast for your eyes today, and it's some of the most mesmerizing footage we've seen through a microscope this year. Robert Feranec, a hardware design engineer and educator who runs an ...
