Explaining All Sciences on Instagram: "Follow @xplainingscience to learn everything about science, one post at a time 💣🧠 The science behind an electron microscope lies in the wave–particle duality of electrons and their extremely short wavelengths. According to quantum mechanics, particles such as electrons behave like waves, and when electrons are accelerated at high voltages, their wavelengths become thousands of times shorter than that of visible light. This allows electron microscopes to r
