Electron Microscope
-Focus electron beams upon the specimen instead of using light.
-Examine objects up to nano-scales.
-Can zoom and view the density of a specimen until it is only a micrometer thick and has a magnification ranging between 1,000 - 250,000x on the fluorescent screen.
-Provide better magnification than the light microscopes.
Functions
•In contrast with the light microscope, the electron microscope uses an electron beam that interfere with the specimen ( biological or inorganic ) placed in the tube.
•They are frequently used to examine cells, microorganisms, metals, crystals and biopsy samples.
•This type of microscope can reveal a wide variety of information about a specimen including morphology, crystallographic information, compositional information, topography.
