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 ...

Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate a sample and achieve much higher spatial resolution than light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy generates an image of the ...

Scanning electron microscopy is a general type of electron microscopy that generates a topological image of a sample using a beam of electrons to achieve much higher spatial resolution than light ...

Common Hoverfly Parasitoid Wasps! Today we're looking at a wasp I found in my backyard. This little insect lays its eggs inside of other hosts (hoverflys), which consumes the hoverfly larva from the ...
