  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012252",
  "term": "Transmission electron microscopy",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A technique that uses a beam of electrons transmitted through a very thin specimen to create a magnified image. The electrons interact with the sample, and the resulting transmitted electrons are focused by electromagnetic lenses. This method provides high-resolution images of internal structures, often with magnifications exceeding 1,000,000x.",
