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 ...

Due to the nature of light, a traditional optical microscope can be employed to attain a maximum magnification of around 800–1000x. For further magnification, scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) can ...

Today we are machining some metal inside the scanning electron microscope! By creating a custom fixture, we can manually ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

A scanning electron microscope, acquired in 2016 with a grant from the National Science Foundation, provides a powerful tool for students, faculty, and visiting researchers to study the structure and ...
