Abstract:Electron microscopes are equipment that use an accelerated electron beams as probes to generated images with magnifications and resolution not possible to obtain with optical microscopes (due to fact that electron wavelength can be 100,000 times shorter than visible light photons). Electron microscopes operating in the conventional high vacuum mode require conductive imaging specimens; therefore, non-conductive materials need the deposition of a conductive layer (Au-Pd alloys, carbon and osmium, among others).… Show more
