How does the use of a scanning electron microscope differ from that of a transmission electron microscope? A scanning electron microscope can produce only a two-dimensional black and white image, while a transmission electron microscope can produce a three-dimensional color image. A scanning electron microscope can be used to study live specimens, while a transmission electron microscope would harm the specimens that are being viewed. A scanning electron microscope can be used to study the details of a specimen’s surface, while a transmission electron microscope can be used to study the internal structures of a cell. <--- my choice A scanning electron microscope can produce images of specimens prepared in liquid, while a transmission electron microscope requires all water to be removed from specimens first.

Yes, TEM can be used to study internal structure of the specimen but SEM can provide details only about the surface.
