What are the common types of electron microscopy?
Posted December 7, 2023
Answer
Common types of electron microscopy include transmission electron, scanning electron, and reflection electron microscopy.
- Electron transmission microscopes use accelerated beams of electrons (through electromagnetic lenses) to produce a highly magnified image.
- Scanning electron microscopy uses a method called raster scanning to generate detailed images of the sample.
- Reflection electron microscopy uses a stream of electrons which bounce off the sample when it is observed.
