Electron microscopes are very powerful tools for visualising biological samples. They enable scientists to view cells, tissues and small organisms in very great detail. However, these biological samples can't be viewed on electronmicroscopes whilst alive. Instead, the samples must undergo complex preparation steps to help them withstand the environment inside the microscope. The preparation process kills the tissue and can also cause changes in the sample's appearance.

What does a electron microscope use to form images?

A electron microscope uses beams of highly charged, energetic, electrons, due to these electrons this type of microscope can magnify the object it is looking at by two thousand times! So because we can magnify an object by such a great amount we can use electron microscopes to observe how atoms are arranged in an object and even look at the structure of an atom.


How does an electron microscope magnify images?

The electrons bounce of the object, therefore, you can see it.


Which two types of microscopes view the surface of an object?

An optical, and an electron microscope.


In what situations would a compound light microscope be a better chiice then an electron microscope for studying an object?

It rather depends on how deeply you wish to view the object. An optical microscope is adequate for most studies. But, with an electron microscope, not only could you view a flea in detail, but also the minute hairs on the flea's legs

Why electron microscope is called as electron microscope?

An electron microscope is named as such because it uses a beam of accelerated electrons to generate high-resolution images of objects at a much higher magnification than light microscopes. This electron beam is used to visualize the object being studied, allowing for extremely detailed and magnified views.


What Microscope that gives 3-D image?

There are at least two types of microscope that can give 3D images. Confocal microscopes that use lasers to illuminate the object and scanning electron microcopes (SEM) that use an electron beam. A SEM can give better magnification than confocal but confocal can image live moving subjects. In SEM the object of intrest must be coated with gold so only dead things can be imaged.


What is the power source of a electron microscope?

The power source of an electron microscope is electricity. The instrument requires a stable power supply to generate and control the electron beam used to magnify the sample being observed. The power is typically supplied through a dedicated electrical outlet or power source connected to the microscope.
