Electron microscope

Electron microscopy (EM) has become an extremely popular method for the
ultrastructural study of macromolecules, cells and tissues. An aqueous biological
sample is frozen rapidly and irradiated with a beam of electrons. A detector
senses how the electrons are scattered and a computer reconstructs the 3D-
shape of the molecule.
