Electron Microscopy
A Solution Trusted by Electron Microscope Manufacturers and Users
What is Electron Microscopy?
Electron Microscopy (EM) is a technique for obtaining high resolution images using a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination. The wavelength of an electron can be up to 100,000 times shorter than that of visible light photons, meaning electron microscopes have a higher resolving power than light microscopes and can reveal the structure of smaller objects.
There are two main types of electron microscope: the transmission EM (TEM) and the scanning EM (SEM). The TEM is used to view thin specimens through which electrons can pass generating a projection image, and the conventional SEM depends on the emission of secondary electrons from the surface of the specimen.
