What are the advantage and disadvatges of a light microscope?
The advantages and disadvantages of the light microscope relate to light, magnification and resolution. Light microscopes magnify visible light--an obvious advantage, since this is what our eyes can see. Magnification (how large an object appears) and resolution (the clarity of details) are both limited when using light microscopes.
What magnification can modern microscopes get to?
500
What is the chief limitation of common microscopes?
Microscopes can only have a resolution which is 1/2 of the wavelength that they use, since the wavelength of light is fairly large: 4 - 7 x 10-7 this limits the amount of magnification that can be used without losing sharpness.
What are the two types of microscopes?
Light Microscopes And Electron Microscopes
What are the 2 main types of microscopes?
light microscopes and electron microscopes
One advantage of electron microscopes over light microscopes is their?
Higher Magnification
Are light microscopes more powerful than electron microscopes?
Yes, electron microscopes have a much higher possible magnification than compound light microscopes. An electron microscope is capable of 10,000,000 times magnification, whereas a good compound light microscope is capable of 1,000 - 2,000 times magnification.
What is magnification of the ocular?
Most light microscopes have 10X eyepieces.

How is the word magnification and microscopes related?
Microscopes are used to magnify. Hence, the words magnification and microscopes could be said to have a functional relationship rather than an etymological relationship.
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.
What are the advantages of electron microscopes?
The advantages of electron microscopes are : -Higher magnification
What magnification can modern microscopes get to?
500
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 is the magnification of light microscopes?
The magnification of confocal microscopes varies greatly based on the type of model. Generally, you can find them between 100x and 16,000x.
Why did microscopes change?
So that a higher magnification range could be reached and more could be found out about things such as cells and micro-organisms.
How is magnification controlled in microscopes?
by the objective lenses
