How Does TEM Compare to Other Microscopy Techniques?
TEM is often compared to other microscopy techniques such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): - SEM: While SEM provides detailed surface images and 3D topography, it lacks the atomic resolution of TEM. - AFM: AFM can image samples in various environments (air, liquid, vacuum) and measure mechanical properties, but it does not provide the same atomic-scale resolution as TEM.
