With electron microscopes it is nowadays possible to visualize individual atoms, the fundamental building blocks of matter. At the same time these instruments are capable by means of spectroscopy to not only identify individual atoms, but also their collective behavior, determining whether the material is, e.g., a superconducting metal or an insulator. We will expand the electron microscope toolbox with novel microwave technology, enabling ultrashort exposure times to study extremely fast processes occurring in materials, while maintaining the state-of-the-art precision of imaging and spectroscopy. This will help us to better understand and further develop advanced quantum materials.
