Other Microscopes
Scanning Probe Microscope
- Produces an image that represent the structure of surface rather than the direct view of surface
- used to make images of the nanoscale surfaces and structures
Acoustic Microscope
-Employs very high or ultra high frequency ultrasound
- Used to visualized images of internal features including defects like cracks, delamination and void.
Digital Microscope
-Variation of a traditional optical microscope
-Used in a wide range of industries like education, research, medicine and forensic etc.
USB Computer Microscope
-Low powered digital microscope which connects to a computer normally via a USB port
- Examining irregular surfaces such as fibres
Electron Microscope
Transmission Electron Microscope(TEM)
- Produces image by probing the specimen with a focused electron
- Magnifies external surface of specimen
Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM)
-Used in a variety of industrial , commercial and research application
-Criminal and other forensic investigations utilize SEM to uncover evidence
