There are two main models of an electron microscope – the transmission EM (TEM) and the scanning EM (SEM). The transmission electron microscope is utilized to observe thin specimens (tissue sections, molecules, etc) by which electrons can move to create a projection image. A normal TEM can reach the highest magnification level of about 1,000,000x.
