Electron microscopes (EMs) are super important tools that help us learn about the structure of cells. They can take really clear pictures of tiny parts inside cells.
Resolution: EMs can see details as small as nanometers. In comparison, regular light microscopes can only see details that are nanometers big.
Magnification: EMs can make things look up to times bigger than they really are!
