    • Electron microscopes are operated in vacuum because the mean free path of electrons is air is short – this mean biological samples should not degas – they can either be dehydrated or frozen – pathology, not in-vivo. •Electron microscopes have higher resolution than optical microscopes – atomic resolution is possible. •Chemical imaging and spectroscopy – mapping π and σ bonds at 1nm resolution can be done. •Radiation damage is severe and limits the image quality and resolution (not as bad as x-rays or neutrons though! – see R. Henderson, Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics 28 (1995) 171-193.)…
