Answer:

Transmission electron microscopes (TEM) pass a beam of electrons through a thin specimen similar to how a compound light microscope transmits light. Scientists can apply stain to the specimen to increase contrast in the image.

Transmission electron microscopes are mainly used for studying the internal structures of cells that cannot be viewed under light microscopes.

Notice that the magnified images of the specimen are produced in black and white. Scientists can use computers to add artificial color to enhance visibility when needed.

Scanning electron microscopes (SEM) are useful for studying the details of a specimen’s surface. The electron beam scans the specimen’s surface, which is coated with a thin layer of gold metal. The electrons that scatter off of the gold-coated surface are focused onto a screen, forming a detailed image of the specimen surface. The image is three-dimensional and black and white.

so if the scanning electron is to study the outside

then the transmission electron is to see the inside

hope i helped im just taking the test ill get back to say if it right

ITS RIGHT!!
