NEW YORK: SuperSTEM 3, the most powerful electron microscope in the world, that can pinpoint the position of single atoms, has been installed at the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council’s (EPSRC’s) SuperSTEM facility at the Daresbury laboratory complex near Warrington, Cheshire, England.
Scientists say SuperSTEM 3, which cost £3.7 million, is 100 times more powerful than any other device currently available at British universities. It can examine objects with one-millionth of the diameter of human hair.
There are just three of these super electron microscopes in the world, one at the SuperSTEM Daresbury facility and the other two in the United States, where they were made.
