I used to have access to some pretty nice Scanning Electron Microscopes (a SEM) at my day job. While they are a bit more complex than a 3D printer, they are awfully handy when you need them.

SEM stands for scanning electron microscope. The SEM is a microscope that uses electrons instead of light to form an image. Since their development in the early 1950's, scanning electron microscopes ...

Outwardly, fruit flies and humans have little in common. It is all the more astonishing that roughly 60 percent of the fly's genes can also be found in humans in a similar form. Many insights gained ...

An optical sensing device in a scanner or fax machine that is moved across the image to be scanned. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. All other reproduction requires permission.

When all you’ve got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. And when you’ve got a scanning electron microscope, everything must look like a sample that would be really, really interesting ...

Morgan's experiments are not only fundamental to our knowledge of heredity; they have also made an animal respectable for science, which previously only a few specialists had worked with: the fruit, ...

The Electron and Scanning Probe Microscopy Unit provides solutions for imaging and analysis at the nanoscale. The unit houses two scanning electron microscopes, two scanning probe microscopes and ...

These microscopic images capture a close up view of Marijuana. We spoke with Ted to find out more about his scanning electron microscope photos. Following is a transcript of the video. This isn ...

Scientists used an electron ... the branches of fly neurons end to end, they would amount to 150 meters of wiring. That’s a staggering length to pack into the tiny head of a fruit fly ...

A Scanning Electron Microscope uses a targeted beam of high-energy electrons on a test sample to produce an image or detect specific details. Electron-sample interactions can reveal a lot about a ...

Native to north-eastern coastal Australia. Has now spread to Vic. and the NT. The exotic Mediterranean Fruit Fly can be found on the western side of the continent. The Queensland Fruit Fly is tiny ...
