It uses an electron beam. An electron microscope is a type of microscope that uses an electron beam to magnify and illuminate a specimen. An electron microscope has greater resolving power than a light microscope and can reveal the structure of smaller objects because electrons have wavelengths about 100,000 times shorter than visible light photons. They can achieve better than 50 pm resolution and magnifications of up to about 10,000,000x whereas ordinary, non-confocal light microscopes are limited by diffraction to about 200 nm resolution and useful magnifications below 2000x.

What microscope use a beam of electrons instead of light?
An electron microscope.
When biologists wish to study the internal structure of cells they use?
a transmission electronic microscope
How does the electrons microscope work?
An electron microscope use a beam of electrons instead visible light as source of illumination.
How does an electron microscope differs from a light microscope?
The light microscope use the visible light; the electron microscope use an electrons beam.
What is a transmission electron microscope used for?
The transmission electron microscope operates on the same principle as the light microscope but uses electrons instead of light. What you can see with a light microscope is limited by the wavelength of light. Transmission electron microscopes use electrons as "light source" and their much lower wavelength makes it possible to get a resolution a thousand times better than with light microscope.
Why use light microscope?
We use light microscope because it is better for our eyes!!
Which microscope do not use a beam of light?
Electron Microscope
Why use microscope?
We use light microscope because it is better for our eyes!!
What kind of microscope do biologists use?
light microscope
Explain the difference between a light scanning and electron microscope?
A scanning electron microscope will scan the surface and an electron microscope looks inside.
What is a transmission electron microscope used for diagnosis?
The transmission electron microscope operates on the same principle as the light microscope but uses electrons instead of light. What you can see with a light microscope is limited by the wavelength of light. Transmission electron microscopes use electrons as "light source" and their much lower wavelength makes it possible to get a resolution a thousand times better than with light microscope.
Why scanning electron microscope use electron?
It is because it is an electronic equipment a
