    High-resolution ion microscopy is feasible using hydrogen ions. This new method achieved 2000 Angstrom resolution for unstained biological specimens, paving the way for advanced imaging.

    Area of Science:

    • Physics
    • Microscopy
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Advancements in microscopy are crucial for understanding biological structures at higher resolutions.
    • Ion microscopy offers potential for high-resolution imaging but requires further development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the feasibility of high-resolution ion microscopy using hydrogen ions.
    • To demonstrate the capability of imaging unstained biological specimens with ion microscopy.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a low-resolution scanning transmission ion microscope.
    • Employed hydrogen ions from a field ionization source.
    • Applied critical range absorption with a 55 keV hydrogen ion beam.

    Main Results:
