electron microscope

noun

a microscope of extremely high power that uses beams of electrons focused by magnetic lenses instead of rays of light, the magnified image being formed on a fluorescent screen or recorded on a photographic plate: its magnification is substantially greater than that of any optical microscope.

Origin of electron microscope

First recorded in 1930–35

Cultural definitions for electron microscope

electron microscope

A device that uses electrons instead of light to form images of very small objects, such as individual parts of small living things.

Medical definitions for electron microscope

electron microscope

n.

Any of a class of microscopes that use electrons rather than visible light to produce magnified images, especially of objects having dimensions smaller than the wavelengths of visible light, with linear magnification approaching or exceeding one million (106).

Scientific definitions for electron microscope

electron microscope

A microscope that produces images of extremely small objects by using beams of electrons rather than visible light. Since electrons have a much shorter wavelength than light, the use of electron beams rather than light beams can resolve much finer structural details in the sample. Electrons are beamed at the sample and focused by magnets; a detector then converts the refracted or reflected beams into a black and white image. See also scanning electron microscope.
