Resolving power, of electron microscope

To understand the resolution of electron microscopes and later diffraction techniques the wave approach is more instructive. The resolving power of electron microscopes is substantially better than that of a light microscope, since the wavelength of the electrons, given by the de Broglie relation... 

The principle of an electron microscope is based on the light microscope except that electrons are used instead of light. The resolving power of any microscope is given by Abbe s equation... 

Owing to the finite resolving power of the microscope, there will be an uncertainty in the position of the electron, as mentioned above, of an amount... 

Application of models always raises the question of whether the models chosen are close enough to reality to warrant that the conclusions drawn from the model studies will be valid. Determining the shape of very small metal crystals by electron microscopy is not possible owing to the limited resolving power of the electron microscope. 

The resolving power of a UV microscope is better than that of an optical microscope, but much lower than that of an electron microscope and is given by the expression...
