ACTIVITY: ELECTRON MICROSCOPE


Principle of Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM)

The mechanism of a light microscope is that an increase in resolution power decreases


the wavelength of the light, but in the TEM, when the electron illuminates the specimen, the
resolution power increases increasing the wavelength of the electron transmission.

In a Transmission Electron Microscope, a beam of electrons is made to pass through the


specimen. The thickness of the specimen is maintained to 10nm. The beam after passing through
the specimen is focused on a fluorescent screen, X-ray sheet etc to obtain a magnified image.
