TLDR
The electron microscopy with light and electrons (EM) family as discussed by the authors is a family of microscopy techniques that use electron microscopes for high-vacuity measurements. But the electron microscope family is not suitable for the analysis of high-voltage measurements.

The Transmission Electron Microscope

TL;DR: This chapter starts by introducing you to some of the historical development of the TEM, which can seriously be claimed that no other scientific instrument exists which can offer such a broad range of characterization techniques with such high spatial and analytical resolution, coupled with a completely quantitative understanding of the various techniques.

The speed of post mortem change to the human skeleton and its taphonomic significance

TL;DR: The results from this study have significantly brought forward the time of known onset for post mortem alteration for 3 morphological types of microstructural change, the earliest of which was 3 months post Mortem.
Journal ArticleDOI

A possible structure of the casein micelle based on high-resolution field-emission scanning electron microscopy.

TL;DR: New electron micrographs, produced using the technique of Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, showing the details of the micellar surface were presented in this paper.

Self-assembling nanoclusters in living systems: application for integrated photothermal nanodiagnostics and nanotherapy

TL;DR: This review addresses the recent advances in medical diagnostics and therapy with a focus on the self-assembly of gold nanoparticles into nanoclusters in live cells, in combination with their detection using photothermal (PT) techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanoscale characterization of gold colloid monolayers: a comparison of four techniques.

TL;DR: For colloidal Au arrays, TEM gives the most reliable size and spacing information but exhibits the greatest constraints with regard to sample preparation; in contrast, AFM is widely applicable but yields data that are the least straightforward to interpret.
