Is TEM Right for Your Sample?
Choosing the best microscopy technique depends on your sample's nature and the insights you need. While other electron microscopes are great for surfaces or bulk materials, TEM excels with samples needing internal, atomic-level scrutiny.
TEM is ideal for:
a. Extremely Thin Samples: Requires samples to be electron-transparent (typically <100 nm). Perfect for nanoparticles, thin films, and specially prepared cross-sections.
b. Crystalline Materials: Essential for understanding crystal structure, orientation, and defects at the atomic level.
c. Complex Nanomaterials: Provides crucial details on the internal architecture of advanced devices, catalysts, and quantum structures.
d. Biological Ultrastructure: With specialized preparation, it can reveal the intricate details of organelles, viruses, and macromolecular assemblies within cells.
