The amount of information that is obtained from a scanning electron microscope is limited. On the other hand, a transmission electron microscope allows you to see the bigger picture. A high- powered beam is utilized from the transmission electron microscope. It’s beams electronically pull electrons through the object. The electron beam passes through a condenser lens, and then it travels onto the object. The beam then passes through an objective lens, a projector lens, then onto a bright screen, and then the last image is detected.
A scanning electron microscope doesn’t use a focused electron beam to penetrate the object, as the transmission electron microscope does. Instead, it pierces the beam across the object. The beam loses its energy to generate a three -dimensional photograph of the object. It is not as formidable as a transmission microscope. However, it can create magnified images of much larger objects, such as an insect.
