Question 5.
A researcher observes different morphological features of a nanoparticle sample using both SEM and TEM. Describe the advantages and limitations of each method in providing insights into the sample.
Show hintHide hint
Consider what each microscopy specializes in.
Question 6.
You are tasked with evaluating a new nanomaterial's mechanical properties. Discuss which microscopy technique you would select and why. What information do you expect to obtain?
Show hintHide hint
Think about which technique directly interacts with the sample surface.
