Electron Microscope

How do they work Instead of using light they fire a beam of electrons (which have a wavelength less than 1nm compared to light which has a wavelength of 250nm across) which hugely increases the resolution. They can also magnify images up to x500,000 (compared to light which has a maximum magnification of x1500) The specimens have to be carefully prepared (e.g. embedded in resin or coated/stained with heavy metals) and are placed in a vacuum before a beam of electrons are fired

2 Types of Electron microscopes Transmission electron microscope (TEM) – Sends electrons through a specimen and can create images with a resolution of 0.5nm but can only create 2D images. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) – sends electrons across the surface of a specimen. Can create 3D images but has a slightly poorer resolution power (3 – 10nm) With both types of images colour can be artificially added by a computer – when this happens they become false colour TEM/SEM micrographs

Which is which?

Laser scanning confocal microscopy Light microscopy has also advanced. Specimens need to be prepared using a fluorescent dye (obtained from a protein created by species of Jellyfish) A focused beam of light (Laser) is then focused at the specimen and light is radiated from the specimen and is passed through a pinhole (collected) – this results in high resolution images and can also be used to create 3D images. A big advantage is that it can be used to scan for certain type of molecules so they can be seen within a cell (the fluorescent markers can be specific to different parts of the cell). This is very useful to see how drugs interact with cells

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) This technique ‘feels’ the surface of the specimen using a ‘probe’ and a computer is able to generate a 3D image. The tip of the probe is brought very close to the surface of the specimen. The probe is on a cantilever and will move as the tip interacts with the specimen surface A laser beam is bounced off the cantilever and a detector translates the degree of deflections into a 3D image.
