Question 2 Not yet graded / 4 pts
Briefly explain how a Scanning Transmission Electron Holography Microscope (STEHM)
works and what it is specifically used to see.
Your Answer:
, It emmits electrons instead of beams of light. The electrons will pass through the sample
and allow for viewing. SEM and TEM are used differently, one looks at the outside shell of
sample or cell and the other looks at the inside of the cell. One is a 3-D image and the
other is 2D.
Answer: An image is formed using an electron beam but coupled with a holography
technique to study surfaces of proteins and subcellular structures. A STEHM has the
capacity to magnify subatomic structures up to 20 million times larger than what can be
viewed with the naked eye.
