How can microscopes see small objects?
Your phrasing is a bit sloppy. Microscopes do not see anything. People can use microscopes to enable them to see extremely small objects. Microscopes use lenses to bend light in such a way as to magnify images. A microscope is more powerful than a magnifying glass because more than one lens is used, in series. The light is bent, and then bent again, for even more bending.
In what way does the photoelectric effect support the particle theory of light?
In order for an electron to be ejected from a metal surface, the electron must be struck by a photon with at least the minimum energy needed to knock the electron loose.
Why do varied compounds have different colors in their visible emission?
All kinds of waves, including light, have different possible wavelengths and frequencies. What particular wavelength a light wave might have depends on how it was made. Now if two light rays with different wavelengths enter your eye can you tell there were two different wavelengths? The answer is yes, and the way you tell is that your brain reacts differently to the two waves. The way it reacts differently is by giving the two waves "color". So its not really the waves that have different colors its the way your brain interprets the different wavelengths.
How white light produced different colors?
White light doesn't produce different colors. The only way to make white light is tocombine light with all of the different colors. So if you already have white light, allof the colors are already there. You only have to separate them in order to see them.
What kind of light do you use for splitting light in to its true color?
You use a prism to split white light into it's component frequencies. The way this works is that the angle of refraction of the light through the glass of the prism is dependant on the wacelength of the light, hence different colors (ie different wavelengths) are refracted throguh different angles, 'splitting' the light into it's component colors.
What is the difference in the way light microscopes and electron electron microscopes produce images?
light microscopes allow light to pass through the specimen and use two lenses to form an image. Electron microscopes use beams of electrons, rather than light, to produce images.
Contrast the way light microscopes and electron microscopes magnify objects?
Sample illumination is achieved in different ways in a light and electron microscope.In a light microscope, the sample is illuminates with light (photon energy)In an electron microscope, the sample is illuminated by a beam of electrons.Devon
What is the difference in the way the light microscopes and the electron microscopes produce images?
A electron microscope can produce images almost 1000 times more detailed than light microscope cn
Why are electron microscopes capable of revealing details much smaller than those seen through light microscopes?
Electron microscopes are capable of revealing details as much as 1000 times smaller than those visible in light microscopes because the wavelengths of electrons are much shorter than those of light.
What is the difference in the way light microscropes and electron microscopes produce images?
There compared by frist the electron micrscope the electron microscope you can cut into a cell (any) and there huge they can zoom into about 2000X.The light microscope has a light to see [other one doesn't need] and light one can only zoom to 20X.
How do you see inside a cell?
The most common way to look inside a cell is to use a microscope. There are several different kinds of microscopes (fluorescent microscopes, electron microscopes, light microscopes) as well as several different kinds of contrast generating techniques (phase contrast, DIC) which help to see different parts of the a cell more clearly. Often times a dye is also used to help visualize the inside of a cell.
Compare the way images are fored in light microscopes and electron microscopes.?
WikiAnswers will not do your homework for you. Nor will it write your discussion paper, critiques, summaries or essays. That is considered cheating. If you have a specific question in the subject we are more than willing to help.
What major advantage does a transmission electron microscope have over a compound light microscope?
The Compund light microscope allows people to view living cells. With the electron light microscope peole can only view dead cells but with very high detail. The electron microscope is also much more expensive than a compound ligh microscope. The compound light microscope is also much easier to transport from place to place, as the electron microscope is not.
Advantages of light microscope over elctron?
You mean "electron," of course. There are a number of "advantages," but this is really not the right way to look at it, so to speak. The most obvious one is color. Electron microscopes cannot detect color because they do not use light to illuminate the object, they use electrons. Depending upon what one is looking for, color contrasts can be very important. Electron microscopes have their own advantages, primarily much higher magnification.
What is the differences in the way light microscopes and electron microscope produce images?
i dont really know any thing about Biology cause i dont have a favorite subject i think all the subjects are wack...........

Can you see inside an object with an electron microscope?
No. It is far, far too small to be "seen" in any way in which we "look" at other stuff. Light, which is the medium for seeing things in the normal sense, is too "large" for the tiny electrons. We see things because the things we are looking at reflect light. The reflected light is what we form images with. Electrons are too tiny to reflect light. They are more likely to be "bumped around" by the light photons.
