From a dragonfly to marine organisms, photographer Michael Benson zoomed in with powerful scanning electron microscopes to ...

Scanning transmission electron microscopy, or STEM, is a powerful imaging technique that enables researchers to study a material’s morphology, composition, and bonding behavior at the angstrom scale.

This picture is composed of 4,225 scanning electron microscope images. It shows a microchip based on 65-nanometre technology. This means that the smallest structure on the chip that can be reliably ...

The method allows for the spatially resolved observation of transport processes in semiconductor devices.

Leiden researchers can now visualize the connections between brain cells. Their microscopy technique could significantly advance the human quest to understand brain functions. The study is published ...

SEM stands for scanning electron microscope. The SEM is a microscope that uses electrons instead of light to form an image. Since their development in the early 1950's, scanning electron microscopes ...

Researchers from the University of California Santa Barbara have visualized photoexcited charges traveling across the interface of two different semiconductor materials within a solar cell. In a solar ...

A collection of images taken with scanning electron microscopes (SEM) has been pieced together by London-based science author, Brandon Broll, into a book titled Microcosmos. The images cover anything ...
