At the MIT.nano facility, you’ll find two cryo-EM machines and other equipment, including a high-tech microscope designed to image atoms. To be more specific, this microscope is capable of imaging materials at the atomic level, and recently, some of the researchers put together a video showing how they go through each step of imaging these tiny building blocks for all materials. Let’s just say that it’s not something that any hobbyist can try at home.
On a related note, a team of MIT researchers, led by James LeBeau, the John Chipman Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, recently received a grant for the VELION focused ion beam scanning electron microscope (FIB-SEM). This cutting edge instrument offers capabilities for advanced nanofabrication and micromanipulation. This microscope has the ability to support the rapid prototyping of materials and devices for quantum computing, next-generation electronics, etc.

We are just at the very early, early, early days of exploiting the opportunities of the nanoscale,” said Vladimir Bulović, the engineering professor who is director of MIT.nano.
