How much can an electron microscope magnify?

It is capable of much higher magnifications and has a greater resolving power than a light microscope, allowing it to see much smaller objects in finer detail. ... read more

Most commonly used Electron Microscope is Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), followed by Transmission Electron Microscope and then more specialized ones such as Dual Beam, Focused Ion Beam etc. Talking about SEM, it again has two different categories, Table Top SEM (Smaller SEMs) and Conventional SEMs. read more

The electron microscope is a type of microscope that uses electrons to create an image of the target. It has much higher magnification or resolving power than a normal light microscope. Although modern electron microscopes can magnify objects up to two million times, they are still based upon Ruska's prototype and his correlation between wavelength and resolution. read more

The electron microscope uses a beam of electrons and their wave-like characteristics to magnify an object's image, unlike the optical microscope that uses visible light to magnify images. Conventional optical microscopes can magnify between 40 to 2000 times, but recently what are known as "super-resolution" light microscopes have been developed that can magnify living biological cells up to 20,000 times or more. read more
