Study Notes
Electron Microscopy Advantages
- Higher resolution and magnification power compared to light microscopes, allowing for observation of smaller objects
- Ability to reveal the structure of smaller objects due to the use of electrons with a shorter wavelength than light
Electron Microscope Capabilities
- Can observe samples that are too small or too detailed to be seen with a light microscope
- Enables the study of samples in a range of fields, including biology, materials science, and nanotechnology
