Woah, that's cool. I did not know there were two main types of electron microscopes. I also came across electron microscope images of phages, bacteria, and other viruses while researching. They give off a pretty detailed image of small and almost invisible organisms. However, they are only able to produce black-and-white images so any stains cannot be use on them.
