1931 AD 1931 AD
The first practical transmission electron microscope was built by Albert Prebus and James Hillier at the University of Toronto in 1938
The electron microscope was invented to study the microorganism's. It is beneficial for for studying the germs of different diseases.
Yes. German engineers Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll built the first machine in 1931 in Germany. It didn't outperform the best optical microscopes, but it served to demonstrate the ideas. A couple of years later, Ernst Ruska (working for Siemens in one of their German locations) built an electron microscope that surpassed the resolution limits of an optical microscope. Wikipedia has a nice article on the history of the electron microscope, and a link is provided to that post. You'll find it below.

Charles Oatley in 1952 discovered the electron scanning microscope, but Max Knott created the first prototype of the SEM in 1935.
It was co-invented by Germans Max Knoll and Ernst Ruska in 1931.

The Nobel Prize in Physics 1986 was divided, one half awarded to Ernst Ruska for his fundamental work in electron optics, and for the design of the first electron microscope,the other half jointly to Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer for their design of the scanning tunneling microscope.

German physist Ernst Bruche invented it with the help of his assistant, Ernst Ruska. Sadly, his assistant betrayed him, and went to work for someone else. Ernst Ruska got the Nobel Prize for his invention, but it should have belonged to Ernst Bruche.Some Electron Microscope History:It is widely accepted that the first PROTOTYPE of an electron microscope was built by Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll in 1931; it was not more powerful than an optical microscope, but it demonstrated the principle that is still used in today's sophisticated and powerful instruments, and earned its builders a share of a Nobel Prize. In 1933, Ruska built a a new prototype instrument that was more powerful than any optical microscope, but still just an experimental instrument.The first PRACTICAL electron microscope was not constructed until 1938, by Eli F Burton of the University of Toronto along with students Cecil Hall, James Hillier and Albert Prebus.There does not seem to be any literature linking Ernst Ruska to Ernst Bruche, nor any literature relating any claim by Bruche to developmental work on the electron microscope. Some bibliography is going to have to be provided in order for the sad tale of Ruska betraying Bruche to be credible.

There are two types of the electron microscope. First is called transmission electron microscope. It uses electrons passed through the sample to build a picture of the sample internal structure. Second type is scattered ("reflected" from the sample surface) electrons to build up a picture of the sample surface.
