An electron microscope is an instrument which produces an image of a sample by means of a beam of electrons. Optical microscopes use light to form an image, electron microscopes have greater resolution, and can be used to observe objects that are too small to be seen with an optical microscope. In a large variety … Read more

What is cryo-EM? Principle of cryo EM Types of cryo EM Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a collection of special methods. These are broadly categorized into two types, mainly cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) and cryo-scanning electron microscopy (cryo-SEM). Each has its own advantage in the analysis of biological samples in their native state, frozen by cryo-preparation. … Read more

It is designed in a way that is compact and portable which is why it’s called a pocket’. They’re pocket-sized however some are bigger. Their size is not enough to be able to hold a mirror in order to put the image in the proper place. However, they contain a small stage where one can place an object to observe. They’re portable so that they can be utilized by both professionals and amateurs according to the task they’re designed to fulfill.
