    Electron microscopes use electromagnetic waves with wavelengths much shorter than visible light to achieve higher magnifications and resolutions. They use a beam of accelerated electrons rather than light to illuminate the sample and form an enlarged image, allowing visualization of structures as small as a single atom. Electron microscopes are able to achieve up to 1000x higher magnifications than light microscopes and can image material at the level of individual atoms and molecules.

    The longer the waves, the lower their frequencies, the


    greater the energy, the shorter the wavelength
