High‐voltage, high‐resolution electron microscopes
DOI: 10.1063/1.3128583
Several groups are building electron microscopes with high voltage or high resolution or both that should distinctly extend their capabilities, particularly for observations in biology. One such group, which we recently visited at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, is building a 600‐kV conventional microscope that is expected to have a resolving power approaching 1 Å, according to V. E. Cosslett and W. C. Nixon, who head the Cavendish team. Among those hoping to extend the frontiers of electron microscopy, besides the Cavendish, are groups at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Cornell University, the University of Kyoto, the University of Nagoya, the University of Chicago and Arizona State University.
