趣旨：
This symposium proposal is based on Account of Chemical Research special issue in 2017, “Direct Visualization of Chemical and Self-Assembly Processes with Transmission Electron Microscopy”, which is co-edited by some of the organizers of the symposium. Here we would like to cover not only electron microscopy but also probe microscopy and other relevant microscopic analysis to discuss the potential of high-resolution microscopy for chemistry, especially in elucidating structure and dynamics of molecules.
State-of-the-art microscopic analysis now allows us, supported by recent improvement in its spatial and time resolution, to study behavior of individual molecules just like seeing molecular models by eyes. Unlike NMR and X-ray crystallography that provide data averaged over molecules and over time, microscopy gives direct information of a single molecule and its time-course change, i.e. structural change and reaction. Such molecular level microscopy is gradually recognized as an emerging tool for unveiling structure-function and dynamics-function relationships in materials and biological sciences. In this symposium, we would like to discuss frontiers of molecular science explored with the high-resolution microscopic observation techniques, and develop the interface between chemistry and microscopy. Contributions from researchers who are trying to bridge the two field of research is greatly appreciated.
This symposium highlights any of the molecule-related recent topics in microscopy, ranging from fundamental issues of instrumentation and sample preparation to application in materials chemistry and biochemistry. This symposium also offers researchers of this field to consider fundamental issues about “what we are seeing” and “why we can see” by the microscopes.
