Insect Under The Microscope
|
• Electron
Three major variants of electron microscopes exist:
- Scanning electron microscope (SEM): looks at the surface of bulk objects by scanning the surface with a fine electron beam.
- Transmission electron microscope (TEM): passes electrons through the sample, analogous to basic optical microscopy. This requires careful sample preparation, since electrons are scattered so strongly by most materials.This is a scientific device that allows people to see objects that could normally not be seen by the naked or unaided eye.
