Question

Which of the following microscopes provide 3D images of samples?

Answer 1

There are three types of microscope with the ability to produce three-dimensional images. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) both use beams of electrons to produce an image of the sample. The confocal laser scanning microscope uses a laser beam to produce an image. Although these microscopes can produce 3D images, they are also used to produce 2D images
