Picture of what was called a vintage electron microscope. Has binoculars and a rectangular device,

I believe somewhere there are some electrons assisting in the function of that microscope so yes, it is an electron microscope and no doubt vintage too.....kind of like a very old cheese.

Electron microscopes use streams of electrons instead of light. The technology takes space. You also have to treat specimens in a vacuum chamber to coat them with gold or some such metal. This is not likely to be an electron microscope.
