In this interview, Pedro Machado shares expertise on electron microscopy, detailing sample preparation methods and the critical role of multimodal imaging in biological studies. Multimodal biological ...

In transmission electron microscopy (TEM), where the electron beam passes through the sample to be directly imaged on the detector below, it is often necessary to support the thin samples on a grid.

In recent decades, the preparation of samples for transmission electron microscopes has transformed, thanks to the introduction of focused ion beam (FIB) instruments. Known as either single-beam or ...
