Electron microscopes are microscopes that generate radiation from an accelerated electron beam. A method for producing high resolution photographs of both biological and non-biological materials is electron microscopy (EM). It is employed in biomedical research to examine the intricate composition of organelles, tissues, cells, and macromolecular complexes. The fact that electrons, which have extremely short wavelengths, are used as the source of illuminating radiation leads to the great resolution of EM pictures. To address particular issues, electron microscopy is employed in combination with a range of auxiliary methods (such as thin sectioning, immuno-labeling, and negative staining). Important details on the anatomical underpinnings of cell activity and illness are revealed by EM imaging.
