Rice University has installed the Titan Themis scanning/transmission electron microscope, which will enable scientists from Rice as well as academic and industrial partners to view and analyze materials at angstrom-scale (one-tenth of a nanometer) resolution, about the size of a single hydrogen atom.
Images will be captured with a variety of detectors, including X-ray, optical and multiple electron detectors and a 4K-resolution camera (will create 4K ultra HD images). The microscope gives researchers the ability to create three-dimensional structural reconstructions and carry out electric field mapping of subnanoscale materials.
Electron microscopes use beams of electrons rather than light to illuminate objects of interest. Because the wavelength of electrons is so much smaller than that of photons, the microscopes are able to capture images of much smaller things with greater detail than even the highest-resolution optical microscope. Titan is a fourth-generation model manufactured in the Netherlands. It’s the latest and most powerful model and the first to be installed in the United States.
“The beauty of these newer instruments is their analytical capabilities,” said said Emilie Ringe, a Rice assistant professor of materials science and nanoengineering and of chemistry. “Now we can probe a particular atom’s chemical composition. Through various techniques, either via scattering intensity, X-rays emission or electron-beam absorption, we can figure out, say, that we’re looking at a palladium atom or a carbon atom. We couldn’t do that before.”
Another instrument, a Helios NanoLab 600 DualBeam microscope, will be used for three-dimensional imaging, analysis of larger samples, and preparation of thin slices of samples for the more powerful Titan next door.

Will the GOP leadership use this to find their balls?
GOOD now Scientists can see the wonder of MY G*D’s “Micro-Universe” even better(as things get SMALLER they get MORE Complicated/”Evolution MY BUTT”!)!
Probably not. But we will be able to construct and play a new model of the world's smallest violin that we might play for them and their compadres on the left.
There isn't.
I was about to make a joke on liberal’s brains, but that works too!
Or the public to find Hillary’s ethics?
Absolutely right, USNV.
I also welcome the advances in science not only for knowledge’s sake, but to show the world further evidence of God’s wonders and glory.
And it’s becomes increasingly laughable when the ‘intelligent people’ still try to dismiss the evidence and maintain the Universe is random.
You need a very powerful microscope to spot all those microagressions.
No, they’re going to use it to find Sheila Jackson Lee’s brain.
Thanks RoosterRedux.
The technology is not there yet. Still a few orders of magnitude to go.
I firmly believe that the advance of science allows us to better see God’s wonders.
Many scientist see it too. They have been so brainwashed by academia, that they wont admit it for fear of ridicule from their peers.
You can’t find what doesn’t exist.

In physics, the closer they look, the more it (matter) disappears.
There’s no there there?
