  2. Electron microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_microscope

    Electron microscope. An electron microscope is a microscope that uses a beam of electrons as a source of illumination. They use electron optics that are analogous to the glass lenses of an optical light microscope to control the electron beam, for instance focusing them to produce magnified images or electron diffraction patterns.

  3. Scanning electron microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_electron_microscope

    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 ...

  4. Transmission electron microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_electron...

    The polio virus is 30 nm in diameter. [1] Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a microscopy technique in which a beam of electrons is transmitted through a specimen to form an image. The specimen is most often an ultrathin section less than 100 nm thick or a suspension on a grid. An image is formed from the interaction of the electrons ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_envelope

    The actual shape of the nuclear envelope is irregular. It has invaginations and protrusions and can be observed with an electron microscope. A volumetric surface render (red) of the nuclear envelope of one HeLa cell. The cell was observed in 300 slices of electron microscopy, the nuclear envelope was automatically segmented and rendered. One ...

    Microscopy. Scanning electron microscope image of pollen (false colors) Microscopic examination in a biochemical laboratory. Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view objects and areas of objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye (objects that are not within the resolution range of the normal eye).

  7. Bacillus subtilis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacillus_subtilis

    Bacillus subtilis (/ bəˈsɪl.əs subˈtiː.lis /), [3][4] known also as the hay bacillus or grass bacillus, is a gram-positive, catalase -positive bacterium, found in soil and the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants, humans and marine sponges. [5][6][7][8] As a member of the genus Bacillus, B. subtilis is rod-shaped, and can form a tough ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_transmission...

    Inside the aberration corrector (hexapole -hexapole type) 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.

  9. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-resolution...

    High-resolution image of magnesium sample. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy is an imaging mode of specialized transmission electron microscopes that allows for direct imaging of the atomic structure of samples. [1][2] It is a powerful tool to study properties of materials on the atomic scale, such as semiconductors, metals ...
