What you can only see under a scanning electron microscope

Have you ever wondered what a blade of grass looks like up close? Or did you know that there’s actually a statue of Abraham Lincoln on the U.S. penny? With scanning electron microscopes (SEMs), you see down to this minute level. Come explore our lab at IBM Research where we use SEMs so accurate that they use beams of electrons to create images of objects 50,000 times smaller than what we can see with our eyes. We use these machines for inspecting tiny imperfections on designs of microchips we’re creating for the future of semiconductors. Tag along as John Ott, a materials researcher at IBM who manages our SEMs at our Yorktown research center, tours one of the labs — and shows us that tiny Lincoln.
