Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a very popular analysis tool for 3D surface topology visualization and other measurements on a wide range of materials at nanoscales ...

The family of electron microscopy techniques have become staple methods for imaging nanoscale objects, including nanoparticles, viruses and proteins. The appeal of electron microscopy as a ...

This article examines the use of femtosecond (fs) laser ablation for site-specific TEM sample preparation in a FIB-SEM. Various workflows are shown facilitating TEM lamella preparation of regions of ...

When preparing cross sections, the standard procedure using the FIB-SEM technique is the use of high currents to quickly remove material, then lower the FIB current for an improved beam profile and ...

Sample preparation will vary depending on the sample, imaging mode, and size of desired images. You will likely need to do a literature search to find the preparation best for your sample. Smaller ...

Sample preparation plays a crucial role in bioanalytical analysis involving chromatography. Insufficient sample preparation, such as skipping protein precipitation, phospholipid removal (PLR), ...

The proper preparation of heat sensitive samples is a critical aspect of laboratory work across various industries. Ensuring that samples maintain their integrity throughout the sample preparation ...

Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) can provide invaluable insights into subcellular structures in their native environment at molecular resolution. Cryo-focused ion beam (cryo-FIB) has been widely ...
