Question

Which microscope creates an image of the surface of a sample a.simple b.SEM c.TEM or d.compound

Answer 1

Scanning electron microscope (SEM)

Answer 2

Answer;

Scanning electron microscope (SEM)

Step-by-step explanation;

-The electron microscope is a type of microscope that uses a beam of electrons to create an image of the specimen. It is capable of much higher magnifications and has a greater resolving power than a light microscope, allowing it to see much smaller objects in finer detail.

-There are two types of electron microscope, namely; Transmission electron microscope and Scanning electron microscope. Unlike the TEM, where the electrons in the primary beam are transmitted through the sample, the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) produces images by detecting secondary electrons which are emitted from the surface due to excitation by the primary electron beam.
