This scanning electron microscope image captures a butterfly covered with pollen grains, highlighting the critical role Lepidopterans play in pollination. Each pollen grain, shown in yellow, sticks to ...

A team of researchers from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute is digitizing images of pollen from more than18,000 plant species from the tropics. These images are being used to train a ...

Electron microscopy (EM) has become an indispensable tool for investigating the nanoscale structure of a large range of materials, across physical and life sciences. It is vital for characterisation ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

Scanning transmission electron microscopy, or STEM, is a powerful imaging technique that enables researchers to study a material’s morphology, composition, and bonding behavior at the angstrom scale.
