Transmission Electron Microscope

A Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) is a powerful tool that uses a beam of electrons to create highly detailed images of very small structures at the cellular or molecular level. Unlike light microscopes, TEMs can reveal the internal details of cells, viruses, and nanomaterials due to the shorter wavelength of electrons. The sample is ultra-thin and placed in a vacuum; electrons pass through it, and their interactions produce an image displayed on a screen. TEMs are essential in scientific research for visualizing structures far too tiny to see with traditional microscopes.
