scanning electron microscopy
- scanning electron microscopy
-
Technique of
electron microscopy in which the specimen is coated with heavy metal, and then scanned by an electron beam. The image is built up on
a monitor screen (in the same way as the raster builds
a conventional television image). The
resolution is not so great as with transmission electron microscopy, but preparation is easier (often by
fixation followed by
critical point drying), the depth of
focus is relatively enormous, the surface of
a specimen can be seen (though not the interior unless the specimen is cracked open), and the image is aesthetically pleasing.
