Busting 7 common electron microscopy-related myths

Hi everyone; I apologize for the long absence of new channel content as things have been crazy busy for me due to a massive influx of new instrumentation.

I was asked to give a lunchtime presentation to the users of the Research Services Centers at the University of Florida (where I work) so I decided to discuss (and disprove) 7 (in honor of St. Patrick's day) common myths related to electron microscopy. I figured I could kill two birds with one stone and also put this up on my YT channel since I haven't posted anything in many weeks.

Thank you for all your support; it is great to hear someone tell me my videos are somehow helping him/her with his/her work. I have lots of ideas for future videos and hope get back to making new ones very soon.

As always, if you have a comment or question, please let me know.

Great talk, thank you for the upload!
Nice to know microscopy centers/users the world over have similar myths. Great point regarding probe current, I had noticed the same experimentally but had not looked at why. Keep it up !

Nice Explanation and Myth buster. Thanks for your knowledge sharing and clarified a few of my myths. The short story is pretty cool.

Some students compare a normal TEM image, using thermoionic emission to an HRTEM image using FEG.and then say there's a problem with this TEM..Height of stupidity
