What are the differences and similarities between Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Please explain in detail.
The magnification possible with any type of microscope is an important property, but its resolution, the ability to distinguish between two very closely apposed objects, is even more critical. Describe why the resolving power of a microscope is more important for seeing finer details than its magnification.
Why does an electron microscope have a higherresolution, or greater resolving power, than a lightmicroscope?

Forexample, you would use a spoon rather than a fork to eatsoup because a spoon is shaped for scooping, while soupwould slip between the tines of a fork.

Uses a beam of electrons is transmitted through a specimen to form an image. Has more than one lens and its own light source. In this type of microscope, there are ocular lenses in the binocular eyepieces and objective lenses in a rotating nosepiece closer to the specimen. An optical imaging technique for increasing optical resolution and contrast of a micrograph by means of using a spatial pinhole to block out-of-focus light in image formation. Designed for low magnification observation of a sample, typically using light reflected from the surface of an object rather than transmitted through it.arrow_forward
