The electron microscope is a very precise instrument that uses a beam of electrons to examine objects on a fine scale. Some electron microscopes can magnify specimens as much as 2 million times. McMaster University has unveiled the world's most advanced microscope that is capable of even finer resolution.

The new electron microscope was built in the Netherlands by the FEI Company and cost in the area of $15 million. The microscope was installed at the Canadian Centre for Electron Microscopy at McMaster University.

Gianluigi Botton, leader of the microscope project said in a statement, "We are the first university in the world with a microscope of such a high caliber. The resolution of the Titan 80-300 Cubed microscope is remarkable, the equivalent of the Hubble Telescope looking at the atomic level instead of at stars and galaxies. With this microscope we can now easily identify atoms, measure their chemical state and even probe the electrons that bind them together."

The microscope is housed in a special facility built to withstand ultralow vibrations, low noise, and minute temperature fluctuations. The device will be used to examine every day products at the nano level to understand, manipulate, and improve their efficiency according to John Preston from the university. One task of the microscope will be to help create denser memory for faster electronics and telecommunication devices.

Forse ora riusciranno a trovare il cervello di bossi.
Cmq sarei curioso di conoscere le applicazioni in campo biologico.

Ricerca, quindi dipende.

In campo medico ormai si usa per poche cose in routine.

Intendevo ricerca biologica che non è solo il campo medico. Ad essere sincero non conosco le applicazioni reali di tali microscopi, ma credo che possano venire buoni per guardare i complessi multi enzimatici che si trovano nelle cellule. Molti di questi complessi non sono isolabili in condizioni sperimentali.

Io parlavo del campo che conosco, non ho escluso il resto.
