Chapter 2.5, Problem 1MI
Summary Introduction
Transmission electron microscope (TEM) that is available today is complex, but its working mechanism or principle can be understood easily. These microscopes are used for observing thin specimens such as tissue sections and molecules, etc. Specific set of coils are used to scan the electron beams in the scanning tunneling microscopy (SEM).
