How Do Electron Microscopes Overcome Resolution Limits?
Electron microscopes, such as the Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), use electron beams instead of light. Electrons have much shorter wavelengths than visible light, allowing these microscopes to achieve resolutions up to 1 nanometer. This high resolution makes electron microscopes invaluable for studying ultrastructural details of cells and tissues.
