Light Microscopy

What is Light Microscopy?

Light Microscopy is a technique for generating magnified images of small objects using visible light and a system of lenses. There are a variety of types including simple and compound lens, stereo, inverted, polarizing, phase contrast, Epifluorescence, Confocal, 2-Photon, and more.
A wide range of illumination techniques are used to generate improved contrast and, in some cases, the addition of standard fluorescent dyes to the sample improve localization of structures and inform about relationships.

 

Electron Microscopy

What is Electron Mircroscopy?

Electron Microscopy (EM) is a technique for obtaining high resolution images using a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination. The wavelength of an electron can be up to 100,000 times shorter than that of visible light photons, meaning electron microscopes have a higher resolving power than light microscopes and can reveal the structure of smaller objects. There are two main types of electron microscope: the transmission EM (TEM) and the scanning EM (SEM). The TEM is used to view thin specimens through which electrons can pass generating a projection image, and the conventional SEM depends on the emission of secondary electrons from the surface of the specimen.
