Electron Microscopy
“In basic research, the use of the electron microscope has revealed to us the complex universe of the cell, the basic unit of life.” (Gunter Blobel)
Description
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) allows to obtain very magnified images of specimens properly prepared. Images are produced by an electron beam travelling through the specimen and focused onto a photographic film or a digital detector (CCD camera).
