Microscopy: A keen eye on sensitive samples

Looking with atomic precision may be crucial to a materials researcher, no matter whether she/he wants to study organic solar cells, cement, or optical circuits. Hence, microscopes using electrons instead of light are the tool of choice, for robust materials at least. Sensitive materials, however, are damaged by illumination with energy-rich electrons. An electron microscope has now started operation, which reaches a high resolution with “soft” electrons.
