To scan or view the surface of objects.
What does the Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) allow us to see?
It allows us to see inside the object.
What is one advantage of using electron microscopy over light microscopy?
Electron microscopy provides clear and detailed images that are not blurred.
What is the purpose of the base in a light microscope?
