Earlier this year, scientists discovered a peculiar term appearing in published papers: "vegetative electron microscopy".

The data is also used to validate service life models developed at the Institute. The MZ.HD micro-load frame is integrated into a Quattro S scanning electron microscope and used to investigate ...

Feedback notes the flurry of new papers mentioning the mysterious "vegetative electron microscope", and ponders the emergence ...

The global effort to combat climate change requires expanding renewable energy technologies. To optimise solar cells, ...

When all you’ve got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. And when you’ve got a scanning electron microscope, everything must look like a sample that would be really, really interesting ...

The X-ray microscope (XRM) uses optical magnification to enhance the resolution of micro CT. Like electron microscopy, micro CT has applications in all fields of science, engineering and industrial ...

In collaboration with the company BRAVE Analytics, researchers at TU Graz have developed a method to detect nanoplastics in ...

Microplastics and much smaller nanoplastics enter the human body in various ways, for example through food or the air we ...

Thanks to the Dubochet Center for Imaging (DCI) at the Universities of Geneva, Lausanne, Bern and the EPFL, we have been able ...

SEM stands for scanning electron microscope. The SEM is a microscope that uses electrons instead of light to form an image. Since their development in the early 1950's, scanning electron microscopes ...
