A new AI model generates realistic synthetic microscope images of atoms, providing scientists with reliable training data to accelerate materials research and atomic scale analysis. (Nanowerk ...

To ensure that the tissue structures of biological samples are easily recognizable under the electron microscope, they are treated with a staining agent. The standard staining agent for this is uranyl ...

Indian American researcher’s new AI-enhanced scanning method promises to boost quest for high-resolution mapping of the brain ...

A £3 million electron microscope has arrived at the University of Oxford's Department of Materials. The microscope will support research across the university's departments and divisions. It was ...

Chiral metasurfaces can strongly twist the polarization of light, but how this process unfolds in space and time has been unclear. Scientists in China have now used ultrafast electron microscopy and ...

Researchers at TU Graz have proven that espresso is a favourable alternative to the highly toxic and radioactive uranyl acetate in the analysis of biological samples. To ensure that the tissue ...

Using machine learning to guide microscopes could reveal greater insights into the brain's connectome and deepen our ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

They can image a wide range of materials and biological samples with high magnification, resolution, and depth of field, thereby revealing surface structure and chemical composition. Industries like ...

Researchers at Graz University of Technology found that ordinary espresso can replace toxic uranyl acetate for electron microscopy staining.
