Why you coat the sample with a conductive material in a electron microscope?

Electron microscopes work by reflecting electrons from the sample to build an image. This achieves a higher degree of magnification than conventional microscopy which uses reflected photons (light) to build a magnified image. However, samples which are often viewed under an electron microscope (particularly biological samples) would not reflect the electrons by themselves, but would allow them to pass straight through. Coating the sample with a conductive metal ensures that the electrons are reflected by the coated sample so that a magnified image can be built up

Which type of microscope requires a nonmetal sample to be prepared for viewing by coating it with a thin layer of a conductive material?
transmission electron microscope
What is the principle of electron microscope?
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.
Differentiate comcound microscope to electron microscopes?
a compound microscope uses light and an array of lenses to magnify an objct an electron microscope on the other hand uses particles beams to illuminate the sample being use,/.
What is the difference between a Light Microscopes and an Electron Microscope?
The optical microscope is the most common. It uses light to image a sample that is too small to be seen by the naked eye.The scanning electron microscope examines the surface of objects using an electron beam and measuring reflection.Short Answer = Resolution.
Give one advantage of a scanning electron microscope over a transmission electron microscope?
The SEM has become more popular than the TEM as it can produce images of high resolution, greater clarity and three dimensional quality and requires less sample preparation.

transmission electron microscope
Compare the sources of the beam in light microscope and electron microscopes?
Sample illumination is achieved in different ways in a light and electron microscope.In a light microscope, the sample is illuminates with light (photon energy)In an electron microscope, the sample is illuminated by a beam of electrons.Devon

Why do scientists get the thinnest possible sample to look at in a microscope?
depending on what microscope, a beam of light or electron bean has to be able to permeate parts of the sample
What is a scanning electron microscope?
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.
Can a sample be analysed on filter paper in the electron microscope?
No you can't. what an idiot
Which microscope creates an image of the surface of a sample?
A Reflecting light microscope. An electron microscope.
Why are the stains on an electron microscope lead or gold?
You can look at any type of sample under an electron microscope. Depending on the sample, it can handle a certain amount of electrons on the surface (from the microscope). After this limit is reached, no image from the microscope can be obtained. This is because electrons can no longer "stick" to the sample and they start flying around crazily. Coating the sample with another substance, such as gold or lead, will allow the sample to handle a greater amount of electrons. The larger the amount of electrons on the surface, the finer the details one can obtain from their sample.
