An electron microscope is a type of Microscope that uses Electron s to illuminate and create an image of a specimen. It has much higher Magnification and Resolving Power than a Light Microscope , with magnifications up to about two million times compared to about two thousand, allowing it to see smaller objects and greater detail in these objects. Unlike a light microscope, which uses glass lenses to focus light, the electron microscope uses electrostatic and electromagnetic lenses to control the illumination and imaging of the specimen. HISTORY from a scanning electron microscope]] The first electron microscope prototype was built in . Although it was primitive and not fit for practical use, the instrument was still capable of magnifying objects by four hundred times. |
