How electron microscopes workIf you've ever used an ordinary microscope, you'll know the basic idea is simple. There's a light at the bottom that shines upward through a thin slice of the specimen. You look through an eyepiece and a powerful lens to see a considerably magnified image of...

How Does a Microscope Work? - ElectronAs previously mentioned, optical microscopes are limited in resolution by the frequency of the light waves. Electron guns emit a flow of electrons of a considerably shorter wave length than visible light and this fact allows an electron microscope to have ...
the second glass up or down until the print comes into sharp focus. you will notice that the print appears larger than it does in the first magnifying glass. you can also make a simple pinhole microscope that works like a pinhole camera . for details, see topscopes . read more 1 2 3...
A light microscope, whether a simple student microscope or a complex research microscope, has the following basic systems: Specimen control- hold and manipulate the specimenstage- where the specimen restsclips- used to hold the specimen still on the stage (Because you are looking at a magnified...
actually even back to the turn of the century, that last century that we just came out of in terms of understanding that as the electron microscope was invented and we became aware of the world tinier than atoms we began to recognize that thoughts and perceptions are having an influence over...
Piezoelectric materials can generate an electric current just by being bent or stressed. As described in How Nanowires Work, hundreds of nanowires can be packed side by side in a space less than the width of a human hair. At that scale, and with the combined flexibility of the nanogenerator...
The DishBrain system can send and receive electrophysiological signals to and from living neurons, training the cells to accomplish a task.
There's a huge amount of theory around electron orbitals, but to understand light there is just one key fact to understand: An electron has a natural orbit that it occupies, but if you energize an atom, you can move its electrons to higher orbitals. A photon is produced whenever an ...
Using a counting chamber does not necessarily yield an accurate count of the number of live cells because it is not always possible to distinguish between live cells, dead cells, and debris of the same size under the microscope. However, newly developed fluorescence staining techniques make it po...
