burningredphoenixParticipantwhat type of microscope makes it easier to see the smallest obbjucts as they are, not as refined versions of the actual image?

The question is: what do you call “what they are” vs “as refined versions of what they are”?
If you mean giving you a direct image of your samples vs an interpretation (via a detector) only light microscopes are fit.
Otherwise I don’t really see where to draw the line between what samples are and when they are refined versions… Probably TEM is Non refined, while SEM needs more interpretations and wouldn’t fit your description.

Hope this helps

How but then why would you exclude Scanning tunneling microscopy or Atomic force microscopy?

LOL, Patrick, you could teach microscope anatomy. AP 😉
