Neuron networks have been imaged with the scanning photoelectron microscope MAXIMUM, showing details in the submicron range such as axons, dendrites and their synapses. These results, obtained with the scanning photoemission microscope MAXIMUM, demonstrate that photoemission can reach the lateral resolution required for the life sciences, and prepare the way to the future use in the life sciences of techniques such as ESCA.
