3-can’t observe specimens smaller than light wavelength
4-preparation may distort specimen

33
Q

TEMs

A
  • focus beam of elections onto specimen using electromagnets
  • denser parts of specimen absorb more electrons so appear darker
34
Q

TEMs

A
  • focus beam of elections onto specimen using electromagnets
  • denser parts of specimen absorb more electrons so appear darker
  • in a vacuum
35
Q

SEMs

Q

TEMs advantages

A

1-give high resolution images- show small

2- higher magnification than optical
