Electron microscopy

Electron microscopy is like looking at really tiny things with a special type of microscope that uses electrons instead of light. Electrons are like super tiny particles that move really fast, kind of like a superfast race car.

When we look at something with a regular microscope, the light bounces off of it and goes into our eyes so we can see it. But with electron microscopy, the electrons bounce off of the tiny things we want to see and create an image that we can look at.

This allows us to see things that are even smaller than what we can see with a regular microscope, like the tiniest parts of cells or even molecules! It's like being able to see things that are invisible to our eyes.

Scientists use electron microscopy to learn about all sorts of things - from how our body works to new materials for building things. It's like being a super-scientist with a special tool that lets you see things that are too small to see with just our eyes.
