A low-voltage electron microscope (LVEM) is an electron microscope that is designed to operate at relatively low electron accelerating voltages of between 0.5 and 30 kV. Some LVEMs can function as an SEM, a TEM, and a STEM in a single compact instrument.
An account of the early history of scanning electron microscopy has been presented by McMullan. [2] [3] Although Max Knoll produced a photo with a 50 mm object-field-width showing channeling contrast by the use of an electron beam scanner, [4] it was Manfred von Ardenne who in 1937 invented [5] a microscope with high resolution by scanning a very small raster with a demagnified and finely ...
A TEM image of a cluster of poliovirus. The polio virus is 30 nm in diameter. [1] Operating principle of a transmission electron microscope. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a microscopy technique in which a beam of electrons is transmitted through a specimen to form an image. The specimen is most often an ultrathin section less than ...
The electron microscope can achieve a resolution of up to 100 picometers, allowing eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells, viruses, ribosomes, and even single atoms to be visualized (note the logarithmic scale). Transmission electron microscopy DNA sequencing is a single-molecule sequencing technology that uses transmission electron microscopy ...
Scanning electron microscope image of pollen (false colors) Microscopic examination in a biochemical laboratory. Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view objects and areas of objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye (objects that are not within the resolution range of the normal eye).

Reproduction of an early electron microscope constructed by Ernst Ruska in the 1930s. Many developments laid the groundwork of the electron optics used in microscopes. [2] One significant step was the work of Hertz in 1883 [3] who made a cathode-ray tube with electrostatic and magnetic deflection, demonstrating manipulation of the direction of an electron beam.
High-resolution transmission electron microscopy is an imaging mode of specialized transmission electron microscopes that allows for direct imaging of the atomic structure of samples. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is a powerful tool to study properties of materials on the atomic scale, such as semiconductors, metals, nanoparticles and sp 2 -bonded carbon (e.g ...
The world's first ESEM prototype. Starting with Manfred von Ardenne, [1] early attempts were reported of the examination of specimens inside "environmental" cells with water or atmospheric gas, in conjunction with conventional and scanning transmission types of electron microscopes.
