Transmission Electron Microscopy: Principle and Components | Soil Mineralogy

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Principle of Transmission Electron Microscopy 2. Components of Transmission Electron Microscopy 3. Applications. Principle of Transmission Electron Microscopy: The transmission electron microscope can be compared with a slide projector. In a slide projector, light from a light source is made into a parallel beam by the condenser lens; this passes through the [...]
