“For the last 90-100 years, our field has thought that the way to do great microscopy is to make better and better microscopes,” says materials science & engineering professor Pinshane Huang, who led ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have shown for the first time that expensive aberration-corrected microscopes are no longer required to achieve record-breaking ...

But if your research involves the electron microscope itself, you might be a little more reluctant to tear down these expensive devices to take a look behind the curtain as the costs to do this ...

"It's expected to be a fraction of the cost of a new electron microscope," she said. A nearly 100-year-old invention, the electron microscope remains an essential tool in many scientific laboratories.
