What is function of TEM?

Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) is a powerful imaging technique used to analyze the microstructure of materials at atomic resolution. It functions by transmitting a beam of electrons through a thin specimen, allowing for the observation of internal structures, defects, and variations in composition. TEM provides detailed information about crystal structures, grain boundaries, and phase distributions, making it invaluable in fields such as materials science, Biology, and Nanotechnology. Additionally, it can be coupled with various spectroscopy techniques for elemental analysis.
