The Helmholtz Center for Materials and Energy in Berlin, Germany (HZB, originally known as Hahn-Meitner Institute, HMI) has developed a novel technique for the cross-sectional sample preparation for ...

The ultramicrotomes are mainly used to prepare thin sections for imaging with TEM. Either glass or diamond knifes can be used to cut thin sections of specimens embedded in epoxy. The section thickness ...

Cross-section observation of a specimen using SEM can produce detailed information vital for research and development as well as for failure analysis. Generally, surface observation alone is incapable ...

The significance of histological examination in the classification and diagnosis of clinical conditions is reliant on the expertise of the histology laboratory in managing the wide spectrum of ...

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 ...

As a surface-sensitive technique, the diffraction signal comes from the top few nanometers of the crystal lattice in EBSD. Hence, the top layer needs to be devoid of oxidation, contamination and ...

Figure 1: Flowchart showing the overview of skeletal tissue processing and imaging protocol. We use 4% (wt/vol) paraformaldehyde (PFA) solution to achieve fixation of bone samples. For the long bones, ...

The museum’s mineral preparation laboratory prepares specimens from the collections for further analysis with SEM, geochemical and optical description ...

Prepare samples by coating, drying, etching, milling, polishing, and sectioning. The Leica CPD 030 Critical Point Dryer is a critical point drying device for biological and industrial samples. It uses ...
