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 condenser lens?
The electrons in a particular TEM have a kinetic energy of 1.6 × 10-16 J. Relativistic effects are negligible at this energy.
Suggest, with a calculation, whether the images of individual atoms (typical diameter of 0.1 nm0.1\text{ nm}0.1 nm) can, in principle, be resolved in this TEM.
