What is the biggest advantage of an electron microscope?
electron microscopes have a higher resolution and are therefore also able to a higher magnification
What are the two types of electron microscopes?
Scanning electron microscope and Transmission electron microscope
What is the Scanning electron microscope used for
used to study the detailed architecture of the surface of a cell
what is the Transmission electron microscope useful for
useful for exploring the internal structure of a cell
