Forensic Applications of the Scanning Electron Microscope

the scanning electron microscope

it is only thirteen years since the scanning electron microscope has been available commercially. yet, even in this short period of time, this instrument has been a powerful tool in the investigation of topography, electrical and magnetic properties, crystal structure, cathodoluminescent characteristics etc. of solid specimens. today, this type of microscope has opened its place alongside the c...

Prevalence Of Various Kinds Of Glumerulonephritis Based On The Electron Microscope Findings

  Background and Objective: Glumerular diseases are among the most prevalent causes of renal chronic insufficiencies. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of various kinds of glumerulonephritis based on the findings of electron microscope. Materials and Methods: This study had a descriptive retrospective and cross sectional strategy. Slides of patients (124 cases) who had undergone kidn...

Origin of the Electron Microscope.

In 1878, Ernst Abbe (1) proved that the resolution of the optical microscope is limited by the wavelength of light. This meant that even when immersion optics and ultraviolet light are used, the smallest detail that can ever be resolved optically is of the order of 100 millimicrons, or 10 angstroms. No means were conceived of resolving finer detail until two discoveries were made: (i) the wave ...
