An
electron microscope is a powerful type of microscope that uses a beam of electrons to see very tiny objects in much greater detail than a regular microscope.

Matthew Shawkey at the University of Akron in Ohio and colleagues trained a scanning
electron microscope on the fossil's feathers and found tiny structures called melanosomes, which contained dark pigment.
Some things, like atoms and molecules, can not be seen because they are too small to be seen; but we can perceive them indirectly
through electron microscopes and other such instruments.

electron microscope revealed dense layers of tiny, rugby ball — shaped structures ranging between 0.5 and 0.8 micrometers long.

electron microscope view of an antenna - reactor catalyst particle (top left) along with electron energy loss spectroscopy maps that depict the spatial distribution of individual plasmon modes around the palladium islands.
We have our first
electron microscope working now and, while we are waiting for a second instrument to arrive in 18 months, we are developing and debugging the microscope, looking at samples for «friends and family,» and organising the process of allowing more general access.
Professor Scott, said: «What surprised us was that many of these early extensive fires were surface fires burning the undergrowth, as we can see the anatomy of the plants being burned through scanning
electron microscope studies of larger pieces of the fossil charcoal.»
The isolated intact exosomes and other EVs can be used in
electron microscope analysis; nanoparticle tracking analysis; administration of EVs; and analysis of proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids.

first electron microscope and the other half, jointly to Dr Gerd Binnig and Dr Heinrich Rohrer, IBM Research Laboratory, Zurich, Switzerland, for their design of the scanning tunnelling microscope.
A technique, detailed in the September 16 issue of Nature, could be used in
electron microscopes as part of the continuing quest to scale down the size of electronic chips.
Broken instruments include some of the world's
best electron microscopes and instruments for studying the atomic arrangement of surfaces.
