Scanning electron microscopy visualizes a metal cast of the actual specimen. (true or false?)
True
explanation:The scanning electron microscopy helps in viewing the
surface of unsectioned specimens.
Electrons pass through the entire specimen.The sample is fixed
dried and coated with a thin layer of platinum or any heavy
metal,metal is deposited uniformly and the electron beam inside
microscope scans the sampleand as the number of secondary electrons
produced by any one point on the sample depends on the angle of
electron beam in relation to the surface thus producing a 3D image
so we say it visualises metal cast of actual specimen.
