Apart from being an indispensable tool in material sciences of outstanding spatiotemporal resolution that reaches towards 1 Å at 1 ps [1,2], electron microscopy is uniquely suited to study basic quantum mechanical aspects because the wave/particle duality of electrons can be seen as a window into quantum physics [3]. This contribution experimentally validates a model of electron...
Crystallization is a well-established topic. It covers many life science fields, and its importance varies from understanding nanoparticle arrays to protein formations and drug engineering through molecular design. One of the most popular methods for direct imaging of crystal formation, defects, etc., is transmission electron microscopy (TEM), mainly used for inorganic materials since the...
Electron microscopy is a powerful tool for imaging soft biological samples, providing superior resolution compared to both light and x-ray imaging techniques. Unfortunately, biological samples are weak-phase objects in the electron microscope, providing minimal inherent contrast [1, 2]. This is in part because our detectors are only sensitive to variations in electron intensity and not phase....
