With the inventions of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in 1931 and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shortly after in 1937, scientists gained an unprecedented ultrastructural view of the ...

Vitamin C tablets’ surface roughness is key to defining their surface morphology and, therefore, their delivery rate and interaction time with external stimuli. Surface roughness can be observed via ...

In this interview, industry expert Chris Schwalb provides an overview of the FusionScope®. He explains how this new instrument is transforming correlative microscopy with its innovative AFM-SEM ...

Accurate determination of nanoparticle dimensions underpins advances in fields ranging from drug delivery to environmental monitoring. A suite of complementary methods is routinely employed: imaging ...

What Is Atomic Force Microscopy? Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful technique that enables surface ultrastructure visualization at molecular resolution. 1 Besides three-dimensional (3D) ...
