Explain how to prepare a specimen for viewing in a electron microscope?

For a scanning electron microscope, the most commonly used type of EM, there is no need to do anything other than stick it to an electrically conducting pad. If the sample is particularly insulating, it may be worth coating it with a very thin gold layer to prevent the specimen from charging up with electrons from the beam (this would blur the image) For a transmission electron microscope, the specimen is most commonly encased in epoxy resin before being sliced into thin enough slices that the electron beam can pass through. The sample is then placed on a fine copper grid before being placed in the microscope.
