Electron Microscopes
Advantages
Higher resolution
Higher magnification
Fine detail can be
observed
SEM can provide 3D
image
Disadvantages
Specimen is dead
Natural colours can not be
seem
Specimen needs to be
dehydrated
Expensive
Not portable
Technical expertise
required
There is likely to be
artifacts
Heat is
generated
Vacuum pump required
Specimen and electrons
need to be contained
There are two types of electron
microscopes
Scanning Electon
