The resolution of an optical microscope is not better (or worse) when using natural light. Resolution is determined by the numerical aperture (NA) of the objective.
Why a vacuum in an electron microscope?
The molecules that make up air would scatter the electrons in the electron beam

What is the difference between optical and electron microscope?
The electron microscope is stronger than the optical microscope Electron microscope use electrons not light waves
What parts of the microscope does magnification refer to?
With an optical microscope, the lenses
What type of microscope is used to view cardiac muscle?
optical microscope and TEM
What light or optical microscope most commonly used is called?
A light microscope
What are the three general parts of microscope?
Mechanical , Optical , and Magnifying
What is a optical microscope?
An optical microscope is what is commonly known as compound microscope.
What is the difference between a optical microscope and a non- optical microscope?
light is must for optical microscope while is not necessary for nonn optical one
What are the optical parts of the microscope. How does it achieve magnification and Resolution?
The main parts of an optical microscope are: the eyepiece, objective lense and light source (sometimes a mirror). The objective lense has a short focal length so it produces an image a little bit up the microscope's tube which is then magnified by the eyepiece. Resolution is dependant on the numerical appeture of the lense and the wavelenght of the light source used.
How does an electron microscope resolution compare with a light microscope?
It's much, much higher. Optical microscopes are limited - by the magnification of the lenses. Electron microscopes don't have that restriction.
What are the optical system of a compound microscope?
the optical system of a microscope is the objectives
What instrument uses light and lenses is used to view cells?
An optical microscope uses light and one or more lenses to view cells. An optical microscope with two or more lenses is called a compound optical microscope.
What do you men by resolutionpower?
Resolution power (optics) is the reciprocal of limit of resolution.It is described for optical instruments like microscope,telescope etc. Limit of resolution is the minimum distance between two closely placed objects so that their image can be viewed distinctly by a microscope.
What is a optical?
An optical microscope is what is commonly known as compound microscope.
Are optical and light microscopes the same?
Yes. The optical microscope is the original light microscope.
What is lens of light microscope?
optical microscope
What kind of microscope is found in most classrooms?
Optical, though to see smaller organelles and structures in higher resolution an electron microscope may be necessary.
What is the difference between optical and electron microscope?
The electron microscope is stronger than the optical microscope Electron microscope use electrons not light waves
