Czechia is the world's largest electron microscopes producer so it's nice to see that the microscopes are useful in domestic research too.

- HPsquared 3y agoThey really seem to be a technical hub especially for the size of the country.
- Arrath 3y agoThat is a neat little fact that I didn't know, thanks!
- jliebert 3y agoTwo things wrong here: (1) they didn't use an electron microscope, and (2) the microscope they did use was made by a German company Created Gmbh. This experiment was not done with an electron microscope, which shoots free electrons at a material at very high energies. Instead, they used "Kelvin Force Probe" microscopy which basically measures the electrostatic force from atoms on an ultra-fine tip of metal. Sounds crazy, but it's a technique that has been around for decades.
- maverwa 3y agoA tiny correction if I may, I think its "CreaTec", not "Created". I think they are refering to this one: https://www.createc.de/LT-STMAFM/ https://www.createc.de/LT-STMAFM/
- Wildgoose 3y agoWhich looks like an auto-correct issue - I regularly curse when a correctly spelled word (perhaps including partial capitalisation) is "helpfully" corrected to a valid word that is meaningless nonsense.
