What type of microscope would allow the viewer to see ribosomes inside a cell?
Ribosomes are very small.So have to use an electron microscope.
Why electron microscope cannot be used to study life processes?
because an electron microscope has a vaccum chamber which cannot allow oxygen to pass
What technical tools allow scientists to study bacteria?
microscope
What scientific tool do you use to observe organelles?
Either a light microscope or an electron microscope can allow you to observe cell organelles.
What does a one-Angstrom microscope allow scientists see?
It allows scientists to see patterns in matter.
What are the advantages of an electron microscope over a light microscope - 46k?
An Electron microscope is more sophisticated. They use electrons and allow you to magnify objects up to 2000000x and view said objects in 3D.
What does a scanning tunneling microscope allow scientists to see?
The scanning tunneling microscope scans samples using a very fine metallic tip.
What is the difference between a light microscope and an electric microscope?
The difference between a light and electric microscope is that the light microscope is solar powered
What tool will allow scientists to see patterns of carbon molecules?
You're probably thinking of the Scanning Tunneling Microscope.
Advantages and disadvantages of light microscope over electron microscope?
they are relatively smaller, electron ones are biggerthey are easy to usethey allow you to see coloured images, electron ones don'tyou can observe live specimen, specimen has to be dead with electron microscopesi was trying to view the answer in relation to transmmission
Why might a microscopist who specializes in the use of microscopes to examine specimens use a light microscope instead of an electron microscope?
An electron microscope requires that the subject be dead to function. In order to receive a picture, the specimen must be coated in chemicals and put into a vacuum, a process which will kill any living specimen. A light microscope, although not as detailed, will allow the scientist to observe living specimens.
Summarize information about electron microscopes using five or six bullet points?
1. electron microscope could magnify until 200,000 and have high resolution 2. they cannot be used on living organisms because it enters a vacuum so electron don't bounce off a gas molecule 3. it allow you to view molecule 4. electron microscope is a beam that hits a specimen and hitting back to draw the molecule in the fluorescent screen this is called transmission electron microscope 5. there is a scanning electron microscope that scans specimen coated by a thin layer of metal ions that bounce back forming 3-D image
