Using Electron Microscopes to Probing Surfaces

Every wave can essentiallya have a particle o nature and er. Even the electron, which is essentially a point particle of sorts, it has a wave length. And that's why we're able to see viruses under this by using electrons instead of photons for probing surfaces. So yes, electrons do behave the same way as light. The photons are packets of energy They are particles, and they are also waves. This is the quantum wave particle duality in action, in real action. We actually use that in technology.
