electron microscopes
Beam-based magnifiers
Electron microscopes are instruments that use beams of electrons rather than light to produce magnified images.
Because electrons have much shorter wavelengths than visible light, electron microscopes achieve far greater resolution and magnification—revealing structures as small as individual atoms.
The two main types are transmission electron microscopes, which pass electrons through thin specimens, and scanning electron microscopes, which bounce electrons off surfaces to create detailed three-dimensional images.
