Electron microscopy’s multi-tool: the Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope
نویسنده
چکیده
A dedicated Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope is ideally coupled with the energy dispersive x-ray and electron energy loss spectroscopies to obtain information about the chemical composition, morphology and electronic structure on the nanoscale. With several signals being available simultaneously with the pass of a subnanometre-sized beam, this instrument can answer questions from a broad range of research areas, in a timely fashion. The user-friendliness of the instrument comes at almost no cost in performance, making it an ideal multi-tool in a teaching environment.

3D ChemiSTEMTM Tomography of Nano-scale Precipitates in High Entropy Alloys
Electron tomography is a three-dimensional technique well suited for characterizing fine-scale microstructural features on the order of 10-100 nm. Typically performed in a transmission electron microscope (TEM), it relies on successive image acquisition at multiple sample tilts. Images may be formed through various techniques including conventional and scanning transmission electron microscopy ...

Histopathological effects of different sublethal concentrations (1, 2 and 4 mg/l) of diazinon, an organophosphorus pesticide, on gill, liver, spleen and kidney of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) were studied after 1, 7, 15, 30 and 45 days post-exposing fishes weighting 850 ± 155 g to the toxicant for 12 hours at 18-22ºC. In addition, tissues of nostril were examined for transmission electr...

The progress in (scanning) transmission electron microscopy has led to an unprecedented knowledge of the microscopic structure of functional materials at the atomic level. Additionally, although not widely used yet, electron holography is capable to map the electric and magnetic potential distributions at the sub-nanometer scale. Nevertheless, in-situ studies inside a (scanning) transmission el...

We report nanomanipulation and nanoassembly of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) through nanorobotic manipulation inside electron microscopes. A hybrid nanorobotic manipulation system, which is integrated with a nanorobotic manipulator inside a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and nanorobotic manipulators inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM), is used. The elasticity of a multiwalled CNT (MWN...
