What are the Advantages and Limitations of Electron Microscopy?
Electron microscopy offers several advantages, including:
High resolution and magnification, allowing for the visualization of ultrastructural details. Ability to study the morphology and topography of specimens in great detail.
However, it also has limitations:
Requires complex sample preparation, including fixation, dehydration, and embedding. Specimens must be viewed in a vacuum, which may alter their natural state. Expensive and requires specialized training to operate.
