Achieving sub-ångström (<1 Å) resolution in electron microscopy typically requires a high-energy (>30 keV) beam and a transmission electron microscope (TEM) fitted with an aberration corrector and a ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...

Cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-EM) of frozen hydrated specimens is an efficient method for the structural analysis of purified biological molecules. However, cryo-EM and cryo-electron ...

A pulse of light sets the tempo in the material. Atoms in a crystalline sheet just a few atoms thick begin to move—not randomly, but in a coordinated rhythm, twisting and untwisting in sync like ...

In geology, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is a powerful tool for the observation and analysis of microstructures and for phase identification. The EBSD system, by Oxford Instruments, ...

Back in 2010, crystallographer Tim Gruene heard a scientist from drugmaker Novartis say something that stuck with him. The pharmaceutical giant had amassed a collection of around 2 million small ...

During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical products. This process entails the movement of both electrons (i.e., negatively ...

What is Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD)? Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), also known as backscatter Kikuchi diffraction (BKD), is a powerful characterization technique used to analyze ...

Could you start by explaining your background in crystallography and how you began using the Rigaku Synergy-ED system? Fraser: I began my journey into crystallography at the University of Edinburgh in ...

Correlative cryo-light microscopy and cryo-FIB workflows improve the localization and preparation of intracellular crystals ...
