Material fabrication processes can gradually create changes in the material’s final properties; thus, to verify the material’s final quality and comprehend any inconsistencies, scientists need a ...

For materials scientists, understanding the atomic structure of a material, revealing defects, or characterizing the chemical and physical processes that occur during the creation of material, are key ...

TEM lamella preparation is essential for almost any FIB-SEM user. Go beyond conventional TEM sample preparation with the ZEISS Crossbeam FIB-SEM. Users can maximize their productivity for TEM lamella ...

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) can help scientists determine the three-dimensional structure of proteins in unprecedented detail. Jacques Dubochet, former group leader at EMBL, shared the 2017 ...

Prepare samples by coating, drying, etching, milling, polishing, and sectioning. The Leica CPD 030 Critical Point Dryer is a critical point drying device for biological and industrial samples. It uses ...

Cryo-EM performance is fundamentally constrained not only by technical preparation challenges but also by intrinsic protein disorder, where dynamic and flexible regions remain unresolved despite ...

In the single-beam FIB, such as our Hitachi FB-2000A FIB, some milling will occur during observation of the specimen. Surface features, such as thin films, can be milled away during this process. In ...

In transmission electron microscopy (TEM), where the electron beam passes through the sample to be directly imaged on the detector below, it is often necessary to support the thin samples on a grid.
