Magnetic lens utilize the Lorentz Force which they deflect the charged particles such as electrons or ions. The lens is round shaped with a core of pure iron, surrounded by copper wire (like a simple electromagnet with magnetic force inside). Usually the core of pure iron include four different layers: two outer ones are north poles and the two inner ones are south poles. When charged particles travel through the hole in the middle of the lens the magnetic force will deflect the beam, focus or widen it depending on the type of lens is convex or concave. Another thing important is that there is an electric current running through the wire to create magnetic force so magnetic lens would be heated very quickly as so they need to be cooled down with water or liquid nitrogen.

Magnetic lens have two main aberration types: chromatic aberration (due to the monochrome of the beam) and the spherical aberration (due to the equal spread of magnetic force over the surface area of the magnet's core).

Recently, they use superconductors to create magnetic lens as well to increase perfection of magnetic lens as superconductors can create strong magnetic force in a small region of the core in which improve the correction of spherical aberration. Beside, superconductors can save more power as the current keep running infinitely as there is no resistance. However, as the current is static, it's hard to maintain the strength of the magnetic force that would lead to harsh of maintenance of lens's focal length (the main factor that create the magnification and resolution of the lenses)

What makes a microscope work?

There are three types of basic microscopes: Electron Microscopes, Simple Light Microscopes, and Compound Light Microscopes. Simple [light] Microscopes work by focusing light through one lens. The most common lens, the Convex Lens, works by being thicker in the center than the edge. This bends the light, altering the image as it hits the second lens, your retina. A Compound [light] Microscope works differently. It is the most common microscope for everyday use, using a mirror to shine light up through a slide containing a specimin. Next, the ray of light shines up through a series of lenses, bending the light and multiplying the magnification and resolution levels of the image, until it hits your retina. Robert Hooke used a very complex compound microscope to observe cells through a thin slice of cork wood. The Electron Microscope is the most technologically advanced and, in my opinion, the coolest type yet. In fact, the electron microscope was so complex that it was not discovered until the late 1930's. It uses a beam of electrons instead of light to magnify an image. This allows you to get a much closer image with much higher resolution than with a regular light microscope. The most complex light microscope can only magnify an image up to 5000 times. An electron microscope can easily double that, a recently founded electron microscope can magnify an image up to 150,000 times. To work, this microscope actually borrows electrons from atoms, and as long as they return the electrons to the atoms, there is still perfect balance.


How does the electrons microscope work?

An electron microscope use a beam of electrons instead visible light as source of illumination.


How do you work a microscope?

A confocal microscope works by a laser shining on two mirrors mounted on motors which allows it to scan the sample then the emitted light is focued through the pinhole to a detector which relays an image to the lens.


How did the first microscope work?

The first person to make microscope was Zacharias Jansen, he is a male and was Dutch. He lived in Middelburg. Around Holland in 1595, he got credit for his invention and his helper's, Shans Lippershey, and Hans Jenssen.

How does the microscope work?

A microscope works by magnetizing objects with the glass inside the lens. This lense will show you the small objects you put in containers called slides under the microscope's lens.

Does a compound microscope have one lens?

Most microscopes have 4 to 5 lenses. The lenses are:The three Objects (which are the three things that you use to microscope)The lens that you you put your on.And the mirror lens.

What type of microscope do you use on a amoeba?

A standard optical microscope would be sufficient (as opposed to a scanning electron microscope)


What type of microscope can be used to view non living specimens?

The light microscope and the electron microscope refers to the type of microscope that is used to view the non- living specimen. The non-living specimen is usually placed in a slide.


What type of microscopy does not use light?

Electron microscopy; Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM). The vacuum required for electron microscopy to work correctly precludes the observation of living organisms. Biological samples must be dried then coated with a conductive metal.


Why is the light microscope called a compound microscope?

Because it is made up of more than one lens. A simple microscope is make up of one lens (a hand held magnifying glass can also be considered as a simple microscope). In a compound microscope, one cannot see the magnified image until both the lenses are used.


What conditions would you use a compound light microscope and each type of electron microscope?

light microscope make it possible to study dead organisms and their parts, and to observe some tiny organisms and cells while they are still alive. TEMs a type of electron microscope can reveal a wealth of detail inside the cell.SEMs another type of electron microscope produce realistic, and often dramatic,three-dimensional images of the surfaces of objects. however electron microscopes only work with preserved dead and dehydrated specimens.
