Electron Microscopy uses a beam of electrons to create an image of the sample. There are two main types:
- Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM): Provides high-resolution images of thin slices of samples, allowing for the observation of fine structural details at the molecular level. - Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM): Produces detailed 3D images by scanning the surface of a sample with a focused beam of electrons.
These techniques are essential for studying the ultrastructure of cells, viruses, and other nanoscale materials.
