Question

What do scanning electron microscopes and transmission electron microscopes have in common

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Both types of microscope utilise electrons in order to image a sample.

Answer 2

A scanning electron microscope fires electrons at surfaces, and by detecting scattered electrons that reflect off the surface tells something about the surface topography. Transmission electron microscopy fires electrons through thin samples. The scattering of electrons as they go through the sample tells something about the structure. Both types of microscope utilise electrons in order to image a sample.
