Specimens may require coating with a conductive surface! Specimens that are not made of conducting material must be made conductive by applying a coating of either carbon, gold or a platinum/palladium ...

Since the 1950s, scientists have worked around this problem by coating samples with a thin layer of gold before imaging. While this approach made electron microscopy possible for countless discoveries ...

High-quality illustrations of conodonts can be made using the scanning electron microscope by coating specimens with carbon rather than noble metal. The carbon coating is transparent if thin, thus ...

The Ultra Plus scanning electron microscope is suitable for high-resolution imaging of biological and non-biological specimens. The microscope's charge compensation system allows non-conducting ...

Scanning transmission electron microscopy explained By comparing these benchmarked data with their experimental results, the researchers demonstrated a greatly enhanced performance when using their ...

A light-powered microscope has a resolution limit of around 200 nanometers—which makes observing specimens smaller or closer together than that all but impossible. Engineers at the University of ...

JEOL is pleased to announce the introduction of a new CRYO-FIB-SEM, a Focused Ion Beam milling specimen preparation tool specifically designed for creating thin, frozen samples for Cryo-Electron ...
