Transmission Electron Microscopy

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-028573

1. An electron microscopy imaging technique that is utilized to examine structural components of a sample by passing electrons through the specimen.

2. Microscope technology and an analytical method to identify and count the number of asbestos fibers present in a sample. It uses the properties of electrons to provide more detailed images than polarized light microscopy (PLM). Capable of achieving a magnification of 20,000x.
