Electron microscopes (EM) are useful for creating a topographical map of cellular structures and molecules, but since the images are obtained with particle beams of accelerated electrons, the results ...

A new type of scanning transmission electron microscope is enabling scientists for the first time to form images that uniquely identify individual atoms and see how those atoms bond to one another.

The technique is sort of a combination of light microscopy, which bounces light off of objects, and electron microscopy, which bounces electrons off of objects. UC, San Diego Bringing color to ...
