Electron Microscope: Exploring the Invisible World
The electron microscope has revolutionized scientific research by allowing us to observe structures far smaller than what traditional light microscopes can reveal. By using a beam of electrons instead of visible light, electron microscopes achieve much higher resolution, enabling scientists to study the ultrastructure of cells, viruses, and materials at the nanoscale. This capability has made them indispensable tools in biology, materials science, medicine, and nanotechnology.
Unlike optical microscopes, which are limited by the wavelength of light, electron microscopes utilize electrons, which have wavelengths thousands of times shorter. This allows for magnifications of up to several million times, revealing intricate details that are otherwise invisible. There are two primary types of electron microscopes: transmission electron microscopes (TEM) and scanning electron microscopes (SEM). Each serves unique purposes depending on the research requirement.
Transmission electron microscopes (TEM) work by transmitting a beam of electrons through a…
