The images produced with a cryo-electron microscope can only be as good as the sample that goes into it. That's why Jiro Usukura, at the Structural Biology Research Center, Nagoya University ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful technique that enables ... During AFM imaging, scientists mount the sample on a piezoelectric scanner that enables 3D positioning with high resolution by ...

FlowCam uses Flow Imaging Microscopy (FIM) to characterize particles in liquid biopharmaceutical formulations. There are ...

Raman microscopy is a useful technique for imaging biological samples because it can provide chemical information about specific molecules—such as proteins—that take part in the body's processes.

The mounted sample is then ground and polished using ... QATM The polished bulk sample is ready for analysis in a scanning electron microscope (SEM). This analysis helps in determining the mineral ...

What is Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM ... such as cobalt-chromium alloy, and is mounted on a flexible cantilever. As the tip scans over the sample surface, the magnetic interactions cause the ...

STXM uses a focused X-ray beam to scan the sample, providing high-resolution images with chemical sensitivity and elemental specificity. This diagram illustrates the setup of a Scanning Transmission X ...

place a few drops of a dye called methylene blue onto the smear so the cells will be visible under the microscope. Use a mounted needle to gently lower a glass coverslip onto the sample on the ...
