A transmission electron microscope (TEM) uses electrons instead of light to image samples. Electrons have a much smaller wavelength than visible light, allowing for higher resolution images with finer details in a TEM compared to a light microscope. Additionally, TEMs can magnify images up to a million times, providing a higher level of detail in the sample.
