I think both the techniques can be used to observe different organelles in a cell.
Transverse electron microscope is relatively cheaper but does not produce high quality images of the sample. On the other hand, scanning electron microscope cost a lot but gives high quality images and is also more detailed.

Why are some of the cell organelles not clear in the structure of the cells observed under microscope?
It is not possible to see organelles with a compound light microscope because some organelles are to small to be seen with the low magnification of the light microscope. If they can not be seen through the compound microscope they are normally looked at through the electron microscopes (transmission electron microscope {TEM} or scanning electron microscope {SEM}).
What is a subcellular structure?
a subcellular structure is simply structures within a cell. They are smaller than a cell and commonly means within a cell. They are individual components of a cell that when put together forms a complete cell. Subcellular structures can only be seen by an electron microscope, either SEM or TEM microscopy. Examples of subcellular structures are organelles ("little organs")- Golgi apparatus, smooth+rough endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus and mitochondria.
What type of microscopy does not use light?
Electron microscopy; Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM). The vacuum required for electron microscopy to work correctly precludes the observation of living organisms. Biological samples must be dried then coated with a conductive metal.
When was the TEM invented?
In 1931 by Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll
How many syllables are there in the word ecosystem?
4 clap to it and you will find your answer same for every word e co sys tem one,two,three,four !!
Difference in resolution between SEM and TEM?
SEM 7nm or less TEM 0.5nm
How do electrons microscopes differ TEM vs. SEM?
TEM gives 2D images and SEM gives 3D images.
What are the differences and similarities between light TEM and SEM microscopes?
a TEM microscope privides an detailed image of the inside of a specimen a SEM microscope provides a 3D image of a specimen take for exampel a sperm in a TEM microscope you would see the inner stucture of the sperm in a SEM microscope you would se in detail the exact form shape of the sperm
Why microemulsions are analyzed by TEM not by SEM?
Microemulsions are analysed in SEM in cryogenic mode. In that mode it is difficult to get a resolution of order of 40-50 nm(which is the typical domain size of microemulsions). So TEM is a better option
Compare the process used to produce a TEM and an SEM?
The process used to produce TEM will cut cells and tissues in to ultra-thin slices so that they can be viewed under the microscope. However, the ones on SEM do not need to be cut as they can easily be visualized.
What tools are necessary to see and manipulate at the nanoscale?
SEM, TEM, and AFM are modern imaging techniques.
Advantages and disadvantages of SEM and TEM?
In SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) you look at either backscattered or secondary electrones whereas in TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) you look how much of your electron beam makes it through the sample onto your phosphor screen or film camera. Usually SEM is used for surface analysis and TEM for analyzing sections.
How do tem and sem images of the same organism differ?
TEM images only have a view of the inner structure and are black and white so scientists don't actually know the colour of cells.SEM images are essentially a magnifies view of the specimens outer structure and are also black and white.Though both images can be contrasted via computers to add colour to see images more clearly
What are the types of electronic microscope?
1.Scanning electron microscope (SEM) 2.Transmission electron microscope (TEM)
How do sem and tem produce images?
SEM, which stands for Scanning Electron Microscope produces images by penetrating the specimen with a fixated beam. This beam is used to scan a rectangular portion of the specimen. Images are reliant on surface processes and they are incomplete, unlike TEM images. TEM, which stands for Transmission Electron Microscope utilizes an electron emission of high voltage. They produce complete images.
What is the difference between a TEM and a SEM?
in SEM you look at either backscattered or secondary electrones in TEM you look how much of your electron beam makes it through the sample onto your phosphor screen or film camera. The resolution of the TEM is better. SEM is used for looking at the surface or at the atomic composition of it. If you want to look at the surface you may have to cover the surface by a very thin (couple of atoms) thick layer of gold. TEM requires very thin sections (usually about 70nm thick) or very small structures. Biological tissue requires very good fixation and additional staining to see contrast.
What type of microscope is used when things are too small to be seen seen?
light microscope or SEM or TEM electron microscopy
