EM2/1 electron microscope, made by Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical Co. Ltd, made in the Westinghouse Works, Trafford Park, c.1947.

Electron microscopes use fast-moving beams of electrons to produce images that reveal the structure of tiny samples. This microscope could magnify things by up to 20,000 times. Today, electron microscopes can magnify by up to 1 million times. They are used all over the world by people working in hospitals, universities, laboratories and factories.
