Transmission electron microscope utilise an electron beam which passes through and interacts with an ultra-thin sample to produce an image, which is then magnified and focused on an imaging device (a fluorescent screen), on a photographic film layer, or is detected with a sensor (a CCD camera). Max Kroll and Ernst Ruska designed the first

Scanning electron microscopy utilises electron beam for producing high-resolution images of sample surfaces. It forms 3-D view of the sample. It also gives the surface topography of the sample with sufficient clarity and depth of field. The most common SEM mode is detection of the secondary electrons emitted by the atoms excited by the electron
