light microscopes shoe only black and white pictures. When a compound microscope shows color when you look through the eye-piece.

What is the difference between a compound microscope and an electron microscope?

Compound microscopes (also called compound light microscopes) employ light and an array of glass lenses to magnify an object. (This is distinguished from a simple microscope of one lens.) An electron microscope uses a beam of electrons to magnify an object. The lensing system employs electric and magnetic fields and is specialized for applications requiring much higher magnification. See related links.


What is the difference between a magnifiying glass and a microscope?

microscopes are much more powerful


What are the two types of microscopes and explain one differences?

The to types of microscope are as following : 1. Simple microscope 2. compound microscope differences between these both is as following: simple microscope has one Len but compound microscope has two Len.


What is the difference between a simple and compound microscopre?

simple microscope only have 1 lens and compound microscope uses 2 lens \


What are the main structural differences between the compound light microscope and the stereoscopic microscope?

Stereoscopic microscopes, also called low-power microscopes, dissection microscopes, or inspection microscopes, are designed for viewing "large" objects at low magnifications. Unlike a compound microscope which provides an inverted 2-dimensional image, stereo microscopes provide an erect (upright and unreversed) stereoscopic (3-dimensional) image......


What is the difference between a compound and a stereo microscope?

The difference is to get off your bum and look for the answer in your textbook or notebook


What is the difference between microscope and compound microscope?

A stereo microscope shows two slides side by side at the same time and is used for comparison. A compound microscope only shows one slide.


What is the main difference between compound light microscopes and electron microscopes?

light microscopes direct light onto the slide and magnify it, light microscopes also have a high and low power objective lens which can magnify up to 10, 40, 43 and 100 times total magnification whilst electron microscopes shoot electrons at the slide which give more detail and accuracy but the disadvantage is it can't view objects in color. electron microscopes can magnify up to 500.000 times total magnification.Light microscopes aren't as strong as an electron microscope in respect to zooming power. The specimen can remain alive in light microscope but for electron microscopes, preparation of the slides will kill the specimen.


What way does a compound microscope differ from a simple microscope?

A compound microscope consists of several lenses operating together, whereas a simple microscope is one lens, like a magnifying glass. A compound microscope gives higher magnification and also better resolution than a simple microscope.


What is the major difference between the light microscope and the electron microscope?

Electron microscopes can see much closer than a light microscope, and they use electrons to paint a picture of what the object looks like. Giving a very detailed and small picture that can be viewed on a monitor.


What is the difference of a light microscope and a scanning electron microscope?

A light microscope uses visible light to magnify and view specimens, offering lower magnification and resolution compared to a scanning electron microscope (SEM) which uses a focused beam of electrons to image the sample, providing higher magnification and resolution. SEM can produce 3D images of the sample surface while light microscopes typically provide 2D images.


Is there any difference between compound microscope and inverted microscope?

Special type of compound microscope, developed c. 1850, in which the specimen is illuminated from above and observed from below. A prism placed under the specimen reflects the light rays into body-tube. This feature made it possible to observe reactions without visual disturbance from the gases or the effervescence generated by them. so highly used in tissue culture experiments
