Question

Give one advantage of a scanning electron microscope over a transmission electron microscope

Answer 1

Electron Microscopes are harder to get than Light microscopes, the set up of a light microscope is also less complicated. Electron microscopes only let you view things in black and white, light microscopes let you see in color.

Answer 2

The SEM has become more popular than the TEM as it can produce images of high resolution, greater clarity and three dimensional quality and requires less sample preparation.
