analysis/measurement > microscopy > electron microscopy

Preferred term

electron microscopy  

Definition(s)

  • An electron microscope is a microscope that uses a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination. As the wavelength of an electron can be up to 100,000 times shorter than that of visible light photons, electron microscopes have a higher resolving power than light microscopes and can reveal the structure of smaller objects.
