Beyond the Eye: Unlocking the Atomic World with Advanced Electron Microscopy
from Science Unveiled · host Ethan Caldwell
From the early experiments of Ruska and Knoll to today’s sub-ångström imaging, electron microscopy has revolutionized our ability to explore the atomic world. In this episode, we dive into the evolution of electron microscopy, from scanning electron microscopes (SEM) to aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and field-ion microscopy (FIM). Discover the groundbreaking technologies enabling scientists to visualize individual atoms, the challenges of lens aberration, and the future of nanoscopic imaging. Join us as we uncover how these advancements shape materials science, biology, and nanotechnology.
