caption: Diagrams comparing TEM and light microscopes are shown. In the light microscope light from the light source is focused by the condenser onto the specimen. The light is then further focused by the objective lens and the ocular lens and finally reaches the viewer. In a TEM, an electron gun releases electrons through a tube. These electrons are focused on the specimen by electromagnets on the edge of the tube. The electron beam then reaches the objective lens and finally the viewer.
