Key Stage 4

Meaning

An electron microscope is a type of microscope that can be used to create images of objects that are too small to be seen with a light microscope.

About Electron Microscopes

Electron microscopes do not use Visible Light to image objects. Instead it uses a beam of electrons.
Electron microscopes can be used to create images of objects as small as a single atom. This means they can be used to create images of atoms for physicists, molecules for chemists and viruses for [[biologist]s.
