Original Description:
Learn about different microscopes and what scientists study with them! With the use of light and electron microscopes it is possible to study everything from different cells and bacteria to single molecules or even atoms.
The transmission electron microscope (TEM) operates on the same basic principles as the light microscope but uses electrons instead of light. What you can see with a light microscope is limited by the wavelength of light. TEMs use electrons as "light source" and their much lower wavelength makes it possible to get a resolution a thousand times better than with a light microscope.
