Explain the Scanning Electron Microscope
It can be used to observe intact cells or cell components directly. Then sections are not necessary. It is used for visualizing surface characteristics rather than intracellular structures. A narrow beam of electrons scan back and forth, producing a three-dimensional image as electrons are reflected off the specimen's surface.
Though a variety of optical instruments are available for routine laboratory work, compound bright field microscope is the one commonly found in all biological laboratories. Let us get to know the different parts of this microscope.
