The main use of the electron microscope is to examine
the submicroscopic details of the structure and composition of specimen. The
electron microscope is used to characterize the microstructure of materials
with very high spatial resolution. Information about the morphology, crystal
structure and defects, crystal phases and composition, and magnetic
microstructure can be obtained by a combination of electron-optical imaging,
electron diffraction, and small probe capabilities. Further, it provides
significant in situ capabilities, allowing for the investigation of how
material structure can evolve due to different environmental factors.
Cellular biology explores individual cells and ways in which they are organized into
organs and tissues. Structural biologists delve deep into sub-cellular
components, organelles and macromolecular structures. The cell processes must
be studied individually and as part of integrated events for advances in
disease prevention, epidemic control, drug discovery and food production.
Electron microscope is a powerful, versatile electron system for delivering 3D
characterization of biological and biomaterials samples in cell biology,
structural biology, and nanotechnology research.
