TEM Analysis: The Sought after Analytical Microscopy Technique

Transmission Electron Microscope(TEM) is an analytical microscopy technique in which a beam of electrons is transmitted through a specimen to form an image that is then magnified and focused onto an imaging device, this enables the instrument to capture fine details and helps in better analysis. It functions under the same basic principles as an optical microscope whereas under the TEM technique the electrons replace photons and electromagnetic lenses replace glass lenses and images are displayed on a screen.

Comprehend the Process and Functionality of TEM:

The Transmission Electron Microscope technique follows the process under which the samples need to have certain properties. They need to be sliced thin enough for electrons to pass through, a property known as electron transparency. Samples need to be able to withstand the vacuum chamber and often require special preparation before viewing. 

Types of preparation include dehydration, sputter coating of non-conductive materials, cryofixation, sectioning, and staining.

TEMs provide topographical, morphological, compositional and crystalline information making it useful in the study of crystals and metals, but also has industrial applications.

The application of TEM and how it helps to better your analysis:

A Transmission Electron Microscope is ideally useful in the field of material research, forensic analysis, and other industrial and research areas.

Technology companies use TEMs to identify failures, defects, fractures, and irregularities in materials, helping the companies to have detailed testing of their product to create more efficient and durable products.

TEM advantage:

TEMs offer Metrology at 0.2nm resolution.

TEMs have a wide range of applications and can be utilized in a variety of different Scientific, Educational and Industrial fields.

Images are high-quality and detailed.

TEM analysis is one of the most sought techniques for the submicron analysis of materials.
