The transmission electron microscope(TEM) operates on the same basic principles as the light microscope but uses electrons instead of light. What youcan see with a light microscope is limited by the wavelength of light. TEMs use electrons as "light source" and their much lower wavelength makes it possible to get a resolution a thousand times better than with a light microscope. 1, record 1, English, - transmission%20electron%20microscope

Dans le microscope électronique à transmission, l'échantillon est traversé par des électrons après passage au travers de lentilles électromagnétiques. Les longueurs d'onde des électrons étant beaucoup plus courtes que celles de la lumière, la résolution du microscope électronique à transmission est beaucoup plus grande que celle d'un microscope photonique, et permet même parfois de voir jusqu'à la taille de l'atome. 5, record 1, French, - microscope%20%C3%A9lectronique%20%C3%A0%20transmission

I can’t stress how important it is to get a vet check done on a horse youwish to buy... The vet will issue a written report to you. Youcan also ask the vet whether the horse will be physically suitable for the discipline that youwant to use the horse for... The vet will look at the horse's structure and determine whether his feet and bone structure are suitable for what youwish to do with the horse. He’ll also be able to point out any imperfections. He’ll check the horse's vital signs and check for lameness after being exercised. He’ll check the horse's teeth to see if they correspond to the age the seller claims the horse to be and he’ll also look to see whether the equine's teeth have been maintained. Essentially the vet will check the horse's conformation, movement and soundness, wind, gut sounds, heart and lungs, eyesight and hearing. If anything untoward is apparent then it's a chance for further investigation. 3, record 2, English, - veterinary%20examination
