Question 6
Question
Transmission electron microscope (TEM)
Answer
A thin sample is used to create a photomicrograph-not in colour. A photomicrograph is a 2D flat image due to the thinness of the sample and it has a resolution of 0.1 nanometres.
Sample does not need to be too thin as electrons don't penetrate. Creates a 3D image which can be coloured and it has a resolution of 20 nanometres.
