electron microscopy Inspection with an electron microscope. An electron microscope utilizes streams of electrons deflected from their course by an electrostatic or electromagnetic field for magnification of objects. The final image is viewed on a fluorescent screen or recorded on a photographic plate. Because of greater resolving power, images may be magnified up to 40,000 diameters, more than any other type of microscope.
