For many years the lack of sub 3 Å (angstrom) high-resolution structures solved by single particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) created speculation that 3 Å might be the fundamental resolution limit of the technique. Now, in two papers, scientists using the Gatan K2 Summit® direct detection...

Argon ion polishing of focused ion beam specimens in PIPS II system
Anahita Pakzad, Gatan, Inc.
As researchers push boundaries of elemental analysis and HR imaging with their transmission electron microscope (TEM), ultra-low damage specimens less than 40 nm thickness are frequently required. When...

With the advance of EBSD systems and heating stages inside the SEM, phenomena such as phase transformations and recrystallization may now be observed in real-time with high spatial resolution. These processes can then be linked to the underlying microstructure, yielding a detailed insight into how...
