In a transmission electron microscope (TEM), magnetic lenses are used to focus the electron beam. Which of the following best describes the function of the objective lens?
In a particular TEM, the electrons are accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 18.0 kV18.0\text{ kV}18.0 kV. Relativistic effects are negligible at this accelerating voltage.
Suggest, with a calculation, whether a crystal lattice with a plane separation of 0.050 nm0.050\text{ nm}0.050 nm can, in principle, be resolved in this TEM.
