An electron microscope is a microscope that uses a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination. The electron microscope was invented by the physicist Ernst Ruska in the year 1933. (Ernst Ruska Noble prize 1986) As the wavelength of an electron can be up to 100,000 times shorter than that of visible light photons, electron microscopes have a higher resolving power than light microscopes and can reveal the structure of smaller objects. This video is about Transmission electron microscope (TEM), Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and cryo electron microscope (cryo EM) (Cryo electron microscope Noble prize 2017)
