These microscopes provide a higher magnification and are used for observing extremely small microorganisms such as viruses. Some are fixed in size and position and play important roles in limiting xray. Spot size debroglie wavelength of a particle if speeds are large or total acceleration voltage is close to rest mass of particle you should better use relativistic formulas for energy, momenta etc.
When focusing the microscope, be careful that the objective lens doesnt touch the slide, as it could break the slide and destroy the specimen.

Focus, and then move to a higher power objective, if needed. Preparation of cells and tissues for scanning electron microscopy. Moves stage up and down a tiny amount for fine focus. Electron microscopes ems function exactly as their optical counterparts except that they use a focused beam of electrons instead of light to image the specimen and gain information as to its structure and composition.
Transmission electron microscopy is a microscopy technique in which a beam of electrons is. The simplest optical microscope is the magnifying glass and is good to about ten times 10x magnification. Pdf electron microscopy in the perspective of modern biology. Moves stage up and down a large amount for corse focus. By doing so, the lenses focus and control the electron beam, ensuring that the electrons end up precisely where they need to go. Bring the object into sharp focus by using the fine adjustment knob. A standard microscope has three, four, or five objective lenses that range in power from 4x to 100x. The electron microscope is an instrument which utilizes the short wavelength of an electron beam, rather than light waves, to obtain very high magnification and resolution of minute structures for which a light microscope is inadequate.
