Transmission electron microscopes work similarly to optical microscopes but instead of light, or photons, they use a beam of electrons. An electron gun is the source of the electrons and functions like a light source in an optical microscope. The negatively-charged electrons are attracted to an a...
A new nano-meter scale resolution optical imaging mode and functional prototype of photon scanning tunneling microscope (PSTM) combined with atomic force microscope (AFM) named as AF/PSTM are introduced, and the advantages of AF/PSTM are discussed. Two separated optical images (refractive in...

Electron microscope, microscope that attains extremely high resolution using an electron beam instead of a beam of light to illuminate the object of study. Fundamental research by many physicists in the first quarter of the 20th century suggested that ca
The transmission electron microscope (TEM), the first type of EM, has many commonalities with the optical microscope and is a powerful microscope, capable of producing images 1 nanometer in size. They require high voltages to increase the acceleration speed of electrons, which, once they pass ...
Similar to an optical microscope, a TEM uses an electromagnetic lens to focus electrons into a thin beam. This beam travels through the sample at nearly the speed of light and – depending on the thickness, composition, structure, and state of the sample – induces a plethora of electron, ...
TEMs consist of the following components:An electron source Thermionic Gun Electron beam Electromagnetic lenses Vacuum chamber 2 Condensers Sample stage Phosphor or fluorescent screen ComputerA Transmission Electron Microscope functions under the same basic principles as an optical microscope....
Prasad also plans to develop a kit that can convert a conventional optical microscope into a two-photon laser scanning microscope at an affordable price. There are 279 suppliers of Microscopy in the Photonics Marketplace.Published: April 2000...
A Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is a powerful magnification tool that utilizes focused beams of electrons to obtain information. The high-resolution, three-dimensional images produced by SEMs provide topographical, morphological and compositional information makes them invaluable in a variety of ...
