Introduction
Electron microscopes are scientific instruments that use
a beam of energetic electrons to examine objects on a very
fine scale. Electron microscopes were developed due to the
limitations of Light Microscopes which are limited by the
physics of light. In the early 1930's this theoretical limit had been reached
and there was a scientific desire to see the fine details of
the interior structures of organic cells (nucleus,
mitochondria...etc.). This required 10,000x plus magnification which was not
possible using optical microscopes.

The first scanning electron microscope (SEM) debuted in 1938 ( Von Ardenne) with the first commercial instruments around 1965. Its late development was due to the electronics involved in "scanning" the beam of electrons across the sample.

An electron microscope is a type of microscope that uses a beam of electrons to illuminate the specimen and produce a magnified image. Electron microscopes (EM) have a greater resolving power than a light-powered optical microscope, because electrons have wavelengths about 100,000 times shorter than visible light (photons), and magnifications of up to about 10,000,000x, whereas ordinary, light microscopes are limited by diffraction to about 200 nm resolution and useful magnifications below 2000x.

TEMThe original form of electron microscope, the transmission electron
microscope (TEM) uses a high voltage electron beam to create an image. The electrons are emitted by an electron gun and transmitted through the specimen that is in part transparent to electrons and in part scatters them out of the beam.
When it emerges from the specimen, the electron beam carries information about the structure of the specimen that is magnified by the objective lens system of the microscope.
The spatial variation in this information (the "image") may be viewed by projecting the magnified electron image onto a fluorescent viewing screen coated with a phosphor or scintillator material such as zinc sulfide.
Image can be photographically recorded by exposing a photographic film or plate directly to the electron beam, or a high-resolution phosphor may be coupled by means of a lens optical system or a fibre optic light-guide to the sensor of a CCD (charge-coupled device) camera. The image detected by the CCD may be displayed on a monitor or computer.

A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is a type of electron microscope that images a sample by scanning it with a high-energy beam of electrons in araster scan pattern. The electrons interact with the atoms that make up the sample producing signals that contain information about the sample's surfacetopography, composition, and other properties such as electrical conductivity.

What happens when the Electron Beam hits the sample
When the electron is bombarded by the electron beam on the specimen , electrons are ejected from the atoms of the specimen surface.
Inelastic scattering, place the atom in the excited state. The atom “wants ” to return to a ground or unexcited state. Hence the atoms will relax giving off the excess energy.
X-rays, Cathodoluminescence and Auger electrons are the three ways of relaxation.
A resulting electron vacancy is filled by an electron from a higher shell, and an X-ray is emitted to balance the energy difference between the two electrons.

Limitations of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)
Samples must be solid and they must fit into the microscope chamber. Maximum size in horizontal dimensions is usually on the order of 10 cm, vertical dimensions should not exceed 40 mm.
For most instruments samples must be stable in vacuum . Samples likely to outgas at low pressures (rocks saturated with hydrocarbons, "wet" samples such as coal, organic materials or swelling clays, and samples likely to depreciate at low pressure) are unsuitable for examination in conventional SEM's.
SEM's cannot detect very light elements (H, He, and Li), and many instruments cannot detect elements with atomic numbers less than 11.
An electrically conductive coating must be applied to electrically
insulating samples for study in conventional SEM's, unless the instrument is capable of operation in a low vacuum mode.

Advantages of Using SEM
The SEM has a large depth of field, which allows a large amount of the sample to be in focus at one time and produces an image that is a good representation of the three-dimensional sample.
The combination of higher magnification, larger depth of field, greater resolution, compositional and crystallographic information makes the SEM one of the most heavily used instruments in academic/national lab research areas and industry.
