This degree of magnification and resolution is made possible by the use of a Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope, or FIB-SEM. Ordinary microscopes will not produce the same results. Curious ...

Today we are machining some metal inside the scanning electron microscope! By creating a custom fixture, we can manually advance a carbide cutter and cut metal inside the vacuum chamber of my SEM.

MXenes are an important recent discovery in two-dimensional (2D) materials research. Since the unique 2D material class was discovered, electron microscopy techniques have been the primary method used ...
