Q

Differential Interference Contrast (DIC)

Aka Nomarski

A

35
What is the biggest advantage of electron microscopy?

37
Scanning Electron Microscopy enables one to visualize what?

38
How does Scanning Electron Microscopy work?
The specimen is preserved and coated in a fine layer of gold When electrons are projected at the specimen, they reflect off the gold and are detected by sensors which generates the image Since the specimen is gold-coated only external details are evident

Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) enables one to view what?
Internal Structures
40
How does Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) work?
The specimen must be embedded in a hard resin and then cut into then secions The sections are stained with electron-opaque stains which differentially bind to various intracellular components Electrons are projected onto the specimens and will either pass through the specimens or are blocked Detectors collect the transmitted electron to generate an image
