Electron MicroscopeAn electron microscope has many uses today, mainly in scientific studies. The electron microscope was developed to examine the smallest structures, arrangements and components; he can magnify an object two million times. It works by using electrons instead of light. Electrons can pass through smaller spaces in specimens, creating a clearer enlarged image. There are two types of electron microscope, a scanning electron microscope and a transmission electron microscope. An SEM creates an enlarged image of an object's surface, and a TEM produces an enlarged image of a specimen. Within the science of living organisms are the studies of bacteriology, cytology, histology, and genetics, to name a few. They all use an electron microscope to further their research in their field. A general study that uses an electron microscope is microbiology, and the results from it help medicine with applications in biotechnology helping to industrially produce antibiotics, vitamins, metals, and proteins. studies bacteria, uses an electron microscope to visualize viruses, then tries to determine the cause of illness. Skin samples can be taken from people and studied under an electron microscope, called biopsies, to detect diseases such as cancer. And as the electron microscope has improved, so has the health of the world's population, with diseases being diagnosed more quickly and more drugs and cures being developed. Immunology and virology are other sciences related to this. Cytology, the study of cells and their components, uses the electron microscope to view entire structures or systems. Great progress in this area has been made using the electron microscope. The morphology is also similar to this study. Another science, genetics, has made great strides in its discoveries using the electron microscope. Diseases can now be observed if they derive from a person's genes, and the structure and arrangement of chromosomes and DNA can also be observed clearly and in detail. Histology is the microscopic study of animal and plant cells, helping
