To satisfy this curiosity, many inventions have been devised. One of them is the optical microscope. The human eye can distinguish objects down to about 0.2 mm. Optical microscopes reveal small objects, which would be otherwise invisible to the human eye, by magnifying them with the help of a combination of glass lenses. If we raise the amplification rate (magnification) of an optical microscope higher and higher, can we see an atom? Unfortunately, the answer is “NO.” Optical microscopes use light as the illumination, so they have a limited ability to distinguish small structures (resolution). They cannot distinguish any structure smaller than the wavelength of light.
Transmission electron microscopes enable clear observation of micro-structures, which is not possible with optical microscopes. Moreover, they also make it possible to analyze substance structures and obtain atomic level information by using an electron beam.
The transmission electron microscope is an epoch-making invention used throughout the world to investigate an atomic world that we could hardly imagine.JEOL provides a wide variety of transmission electron microscopes for your applications.( Ex: JEM-ARM300F GRAND ARM Atomic Resolution Electron Microscope,JEM-ARM200F NEOARM Atomic Resolution Analytical Electron Microscope,JEM-2100Plus Electron Microscope).
