A scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) is a type of transmission electron microscope (TEM). Pronunciation is [stɛm] or [ɛsti:i:ɛm]. As with a conventional transmission electron microscope (CTEM), images are formed by electrons passing through a sufficiently thin specimen. However, unlike CTEM, in STEM the electron beam is focused ...
The pixels are typically wide and thick e.g. 150 x 150 x 500 μm for the electron microscope pixel array detector (EMPAD) described by Tate et al. [11] This large pixel size allows each pixel to fully absorb high-energy electrons, enabling high dynamic range. However, the large pixel size limits the number of pixels that can be incorporated ...
Reproduction of an early electron microscope constructed by Ernst Ruska in the 1930s. Many developments laid the groundwork of the electron optics used in microscopes. [2] One significant step was the work of Hertz in 1883 [3] who made a cathode-ray tube with electrostatic and magnetic deflection, demonstrating manipulation of the direction of an electron beam.
An account of the early history of scanning electron microscopy has been presented by McMullan. [2] [3] Although Max Knoll produced a photo with a 50 mm object-field-width showing channeling contrast by the use of an electron beam scanner, [4] it was Manfred von Ardenne who in 1937 invented [5] a microscope with high resolution by scanning a very small raster with a demagnified and finely ...

At first resolution was poor, with in 1956 James Menter publishing the first electron microscope images showing the lattice structure of a material at 1.2nm resolution. [38] In 1968 Aaron Klug and David DeRosier used electron microscopy to visualise the structure of the tail of bacteriophage T4, a common virus, a key step in the use of ...
By Keith Morrison Taking the phrase of "putting it under the microscope" quite literally, the Nikon Small World contest recently announced its winners for 2014. Now in its 40th year, the contest ...
The CIP technique has, accordingly been applied (on the basis of the 2dx program) to atomic resolution Z-contrast images of Si-clathrates, as recorded in an aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope. [48] Images of 2D periodic arrays of flat lying molecules on a substrate as recorded with scanning tunneling microscopes [49 ...
