Transmission Electron Microscopy
Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) is a powerful technique used to observe the structure of small objects, such as individual cells and molecules, by magnifying them up to millions of times. The technique uses a focused beam of electrons to transmit a magnified, high-contrast image of the sample onto a special photographic film or a digital detector. This provides researchers with remarkable views of the internal structure of objects, which can improve our understanding of their composition, structure, and function. It can also be used to study a number of materials and processes, including the structure of proteins and DNA, the movement of electrons in semiconductors, and the behavior of viruses. TEM has been used in the fields of medicine, biochemistry, materials science, nanotechnology, and many other disciplines.
