A new AI-driven solution for automating TEM alignment

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into scientific instrumentation is more than just a trend, it is a transformative shift. A recent study published in the journal Ultramicroscopy explores the use of AI, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), to automate the process of transmission electron microscope (TEM) alignment.

Advancing electron microscopy through an innovative wavefront shaping tool

Wavefront shaping, which involves the spatial and time-dependent control of the phase in coherent waves, has revolutionized a wide range of scientific fields, including astronomy, seismology and telecommunications. Recently, a team of scientists from the University of Antwerp in Belgium, one of the IMPRESS project partners, has presented an innovative phase plate for quantum wavefront shaping in electron microscopes.
