Specimen Transmission Electron Microscope Work Beam Passes Detected

Transmission electron microscopes create images by passing an electron beam through ultra-thin specimen sections, with detected electrons forming the image on a fluorescent screen.

Transmission electron microscopes (TEM) pass an electron beam through a thin specimen, with transmitted electrons detected on a fluorescent screen to form an image.

Back Beam of electrons passes through the specimen and they are detected on a fluorescent screen
Thin sections of specimen are only required for TEM
