How can we see and understand the smallest building blocks of our world? Advanced imaging tools allow us to explore the atomic structures that define the properties of materials. In tools such as advanced transmission electron microscopes, we use beams of fast-moving electrons to reveal details invisible to the human eye.

Precisely controlled by about one hundred electron lenses, these instruments produce high-resolution images in which atoms become visible. By modeling how electrons interact with matter and form images, we support the design of new materials that will shape our future.
