Science

Which outcome occurs within a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) when increasing accelerating voltage?

A)Increased electron beam interference effects
B)Specimen heating via increased inelastic scattering
C)Reduced signal-to-noise from Bremsstrahlung radiation
D)Decreased image resolution from chromatic aberration

💡 Explanation

Increased accelerating voltage in a TEM causes increased specimen heating via Inelastic scattering because the increased electron energy is transferred as kinetic energy to atoms in the TEM specimen, therefore creating heat, rather than sharper resolution because other aberrations limit resolution.
