Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) is an advanced electron microscopy technique used to examine the internal structure and microstructural properties of materials at very high magnifications. The JEOL JEM-2100Plus operates by transmitting a high-energy electron beam through an ultrathin specimen, producing high-resolution images that reveal nanoscale structural features. This technique enables the investigation of crystal structures, lattice defects, grain boundaries, particle morphology, and material interfaces. Electron diffraction analysis provides valuable information about crystallographic orientation and phase identification. TEM is widely used in nanotechnology, materials science, metallurgy, semiconductor research, ceramics, and advanced materials characterization.
