Image formation in the scanning electron microscope is indirect. The electron beam scans the surface of the sample, and the electrons that are emitted from the sample are collected by a detector to form an image. Unlike in a transmission electron microscope where the electrons pass through the sample to form an image, in an SEM the electrons are scattered or emitted from the sample to create an image.
