HREM (High-Resolution Electron Microscopy)

High-Resolution Electron Microscopy (HREM) is a technique that uses a powerful electron beam to create highly detailed images of very small structures, such as cells, materials, or nanomaterials. Unlike traditional microscopes that use light, HREM employs electrons, which have much shorter wavelengths, allowing it to visualize features at the atomic or molecular level. This enables scientists to study the precise arrangement of atoms and understand materials’ properties or biological structures in incredible detail. HREM is essential in fields like materials science, electronics, and biology for analyzing structures too small to see with optical microscopes.
