What are the Advantages of Optical Microscopes in Nanotechnology?
Despite their limitations, optical microscopes offer several advantages:
Non-Destructive: Optical microscopy is generally non-destructive, allowing samples to be reused or further analyzed by other methods. Real-Time Imaging: They can provide real-time imaging, which is useful for observing dynamic processes at the nanoscale. Ease of Use: Optical microscopes are relatively easy to use and require less extensive sample preparation compared to electron microscopes.
