in SEM you look at either backscattered or secondary electrones
in TEM you look how much of your electron beam makes it through the sample onto your phosphor screen or film camera.
The resolution of the TEM is better.
SEM is used for looking at the surface or at the atomic composition of it. If you want to look at the surface you may have to cover the surface by a very thin (couple of atoms) thick layer of gold.
TEM requires very thin sections (usually about 70nm thick) or very small structures. Biological tissue requires very good fixation and additional staining to see contrast.

How do electrons microscopes differ TEM vs. SEM?
TEM gives 2D images and SEM gives 3D images.
What are the differences and similarities between light TEM and SEM microscopes?
a TEM microscope privides an detailed image of the inside of a specimen a SEM microscope provides a 3D image of a specimen take for exampel a sperm in a TEM microscope you would see the inner stucture of the sperm in a SEM microscope you would se in detail the exact form shape of the sperm
How do sem and tem produce images?
SEM, which stands for Scanning Electron Microscope produces images by penetrating the specimen with a fixated beam. This beam is used to scan a rectangular portion of the specimen. Images are reliant on surface processes and they are incomplete, unlike TEM images. TEM, which stands for Transmission Electron Microscope utilizes an electron emission of high voltage. They produce complete images.
What are the two types of electron mircroscopes?
Rhe scanning electron microscope, know as the SEM, and transmission electron microscope, known as the TEM.
Give one advantage of a scanning electron microscope over a transmission electron microscope?
The SEM has become more popular than the TEM as it can produce images of high resolution, greater clarity and three dimensional quality and requires less sample preparation.
Difference in resolution between SEM and TEM?
SEM 7nm or less TEM 0.5nm

Advantages and disadvantages of SEM and TEM?
In SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) you look at either backscattered or secondary electrones whereas in TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) you look how much of your electron beam makes it through the sample onto your phosphor screen or film camera. Usually SEM is used for surface analysis and TEM for analyzing sections.
Why microemulsions are analyzed by TEM not by SEM?
Microemulsions are analysed in SEM in cryogenic mode. In that mode it is difficult to get a resolution of order of 40-50 nm(which is the typical domain size of microemulsions). So TEM is a better option
Compare the process used to produce a TEM and an SEM?
The process used to produce TEM will cut cells and tissues in to ultra-thin slices so that they can be viewed under the microscope. However, the ones on SEM do not need to be cut as they can easily be visualized.
What tools are necessary to see and manipulate at the nanoscale?
SEM, TEM, and AFM are modern imaging techniques.
What is the difference between chiller and freezer in industrial equipment division?
chiller and freezer is same, tem is different, require tem for chiller is 0-5*C, & freezer is tem should be -18*c & above

What are the types of electronic microscope?
1.Scanning electron microscope (SEM) 2.Transmission electron microscope (TEM)
What is the difference between a light microscope and a TEM?
source of illuminatio is light in first and beam of electrons in second
What type of microscope is used when things are too small to be seen seen?
light microscope or SEM or TEM electron microscopy
