Electron Microscope(Dual-Nature)

It is a device which make use of accelerated electron beams to study very minute/small objects like viruses,microbes etc.It is used for obtaining high resoution images of biological and non - biological specimens.

It has the magnification of the order of 10⁵.

It uses a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination and it is having extremely high resoution.

Electrons /electron beam have much shorter wavelength than the visible light which is used in other microscope.The resolving power of a microscope is inversely proportional to the wavelength of light used.Hence electron microscope is having high resolution.
