Advancements towards Construction of a Novel Nanometer-resolution MeV-STEM for Imaging Thick Frozen Biological Samples
Author(s): Isabella Santos*
The imaging of thick frozen biological samples at nanometer resolution remains a significant challenge in the field of electron microscopy.
Conventional techniques often suffer from limitations such as radiation damage and poor contrast in these samples. In recent years, there has
been a growing interest in the development of novel instruments capable of overcoming these challenges. This article discusses the advancements
towards the construction of a novel MeV-STEM (Mega-electron volt Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy) system for imaging thick frozen
biological samples with nanometer resolution. By leveraging the unique properties of high-energy electrons, such as reduced radiation damage
and increased penetration depth, this system holds great promise for revolutionizing our understanding of biological structures at the nanoscale... Read More»
