Concept information
Preferred term
electron microscopy
Definition
- Electron microscopy emerged in the 1920s as the first practical alternative to optical microscopy. The upheavals of World War II caused the locus of electron microscopy development to shift to North America, where the technique rapidly gained a foothold in biology, metallurgy, and a few other fields.
