Best Answer

Two reasons. Firstly, charges (electrons in this case) congregate near edges (of the sample) will repel incoming electrons more so than a flat surface. Secondly, electrons hitting an edge are more likely reflected at an off angle away from the return-electron detector, weakening the intensity of the image there.

Does a microscope form a real image?

Actually, the image doesn't form in the microscope. The image forms on your retinas. The microscope focuses light in such a way that it comes together correctly on your retinas.

Ion is formed when an atom loses an electron?

This is half true. An ion is formed when an atom loses OR gains an electron. When it loses an electron it's called cation because it has a positive charge, and if it gains an electron it's called anion because it has a negative charge.


Is compound microscope and electron microscope same?

An optical microscope of any type uses the light passing through glass lenses. A compound microscope is simply one that uses 2 or more lenses in series. The image is formed normally either in the observer's eye or in a camera fitted to the instrument, or in certain types may be projected onto a screen. An electron microscope passes a finely-focussed beam of electrons through the sample, and creates the resulting image on a photographic film or electronic detectors. The instrument is used to resolve objects that are far smaller than are possible with optical microscopes.

How does a scanning electron microscope produce images?

The scanning electron microscope (SEM) is a type of electron microscope that images the sample surface by scanning it with a high-energy beam of electrons in a raster scan pattern. The electrons interact with the atoms that make up the sample producing signals that contain information about the sample's surface topography, composition and other properties.
