Use electrons
Higher resolution so more detailed
Transmission electron microscope (TEM)
electromagnets focus a beam of electrons to the specimen
Denser parts have more electrons.
High resolution
Only used on thin specimens
Scanning electron microscope (SEM)
beam of electrons scanned across specimen
Knocks off electrons from the specimen which gather in cathode ray tube forming an image
Image shows surface of specimen and can be 3D.
Lower resoltuion that TEMs
