electron microscope

An electron microscope is a powerful scientific instrument that uses beams of electrons instead of light to magnify tiny objects, such as cells and viruses, to a very high degree—often millions of times. This allows scientists to observe the fine details of structures that are much too small to be seen with a regular light microscope. The electrons, being much smaller than light waves, provide much higher resolution images. Electron microscopes are crucial in fields like biology, materials science, and nanotechnology, helping researchers explore the fundamental building blocks of matter and the intricate workings of life.
