- 2D cross-sectional and external images can be produced
- optional staining with colours/dyes to highlight organelles / cell walls
- Max. Magnification: x1,500
- Max. Resolution: 20-30nm
- Transmission Electron
- Electrons are passed through a specimen and collected on the other side. the pattern created is translated into an image on a screen.
- Only 2D cross-sectional images are produced
- Specimens are stained with metal salts and metal dyes
- Max. Magnification: x500,000
- Max. Resolution: 0.1nm
- Only dead specimens can be used
