ELECTRON MICROSCOPY
INTRODUCTION

- Microscopy: The examination of very small objects by means of a microscope.

- Microscope: an instrument which gives an enlarged image of an object which is not
visible with the naked eye.
- The word "microscopy" comes from Greek words: micros = small + skopeo,= to view =
to view small (objects).

ELECTRON MICROSCOPY

- Electron microscopy (EM) is a system for accepting high goals pictures of organic and
non-natural mixes. It is utilized in biomedical research to explore the itemized structure
of tissues, cells, organelles and macromolecular edifices. The high goals of EM pictures
results from the utilization of electrons (which have extremely short frequencies) as the
wellspring of lighting up radiation. Electron microscopy is utilized related to an
assortment of auxiliary strategies to address explicit inquiries. EM pictures give key data
on the basic premise of cell work and of cell sickness.

IMAGE FORMATION

- Electron magnifying instruments vary from light magnifying instruments in that they
produce a picture of an example by utilizing a light emission as opposed to a light
emission. Electrons have a lot of a shorter frequency than obvious light, and this permits
electron magnifying lens to deliver higher-goals pictures than standard light magnifying
lens. Electron magnifying lens can be utilized to look at entire cells, yet additionally the
subcellular structures and compartments inside them.

Electron Microscope Advantages-

- The main advantage is its amazing amplification.

- The potential runs the range of logical fields including science, gemology, clinical and
scientific sciences, metallurgy and nanotechnologies.
- Electron microscopes additionally have numerous innovative and modern applications,
for example, semiconductor assessment, PC chip fabricating, quality control and can
even be utilized as a major aspect of a creation line.

Electron Microscope Disadvantages-

- The basic weaknesses are cost, size, support, scientist preparing and picture ancient
rarities coming about because of example arrangement.
- This kind of magnifying lens is large, bulky, costly bit of hardware, amazingly touchy to
vibration and outer attractive fields.
- Upkeep includes keeping up stable voltage supplies, flows to electromagnetic curls/focal
point and dissemination of cool water so the examples are not harmed or wrecked from
heat emitted during the way toward empowering the electrons.
