When would you use a SEM microscope?
When you want to look at things you couldn't with a light microscope.
If your specimen is too small to be seen with a light microscope you can use an electron microscope?
True.
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 types of microscope do scientist use?
compound and light microscopes are used in some labs compound uses a mirror to reflect and a light gives a light source to it
What is different types of microscope?
There are several type of microscopes, mainly, the one that we use in lab is a simple light microscope or a compound microscope. Then we have the phase contrast microscope, fluorescent microscope, electron microscope (transmission electron microscope [TEM] and scanning electron microscope [SEM]), confocal microscope and even dissection microscope the one which we use during dissections.
What type of microscope would be used to examine a biopsy of an oral ulcer?
i think it is the light microscope or the dissecting microscope the technician will use only one objective lense x2
What is one advantage of using the dissecting microscope instead of a compound light microscope?
A dissecting microscope has a lower magnification than a compound microscope. A dissecting microscope has a bigger work area so you can use it to magnify and still move around what ever your looking at. A compound microscope would be used to look at cells that you could not see with out intense magnification You would have to use a microscope slide for whatever you wanted to look at. Example: A dissecting microscope would be used to figure out the sex of Fruit flys. While a compound would be used if wanted to see the cells of a the fly's eye
What type of microscope aside from the compound light microscopemight you use to observe the organisms found in pond water?
A dissecting microscope - this is used for larger organisms.
What should one use to observe the aortic arches of an earthworm?
a dissecting microscope
Would a compound light microscope and dissecting microscope be used in the same lab situation?
Yes, it could. If one is working in a lab for the health department for example, both would be useful. One might have a sample and would use the low magnifying dissecting scope to find something of interest and then the compound 'scope for more detail of the it.
How does an electron microscope differs from a light microscope?
The light microscope use the visible light; the electron microscope use an electrons beam.
What microscope would you use to see a whole bug?
It depends on the size of the bug. A dissecting microscope would work on any kind of bug you can see easily.
What is an instrument that allows light to pass through the specimen and uses two lens to from an image called?
The answer you are looking for is called a dissecting or stereo microscope. These provide a lower magnification range in comparison to compound microscopes and they use two sets of lenses, the eyepiece and the objective lenses. these then provide a 3D image.
Why use light microscope?
We use light microscope because it is better for our eyes!!
What characteristics of a dissecting microscope makes it ideal to use for gross examination of specimen?
suitable for viewing large objects
Types of microscope and their uses?
Compound microscopes can be found in most biology and science classrooms. They are electrically operated and use light to enhance the image of a cell. They will have multiple lenses for viewing.Dissecting microscopes are also known as stereo microscopes. They have low magnification and are also light powered. These microscopes can view objects larger than what a compound microscope is able to handle, in three dimensions.Scanning Electron Microscopes use electrons instead of light to create an image. These microscopes produce three-dimensional images with high resolution and magnification. They also have a larger depth of focus.Transmission Electron Microscopes use electrons instead of light to create an image. The material prepared must be very thin. The beams of electrons that pass through it give the viewer high magnification and resolution. These give two-dimensional images.Electron microscopes are one of the most advanced microscopes used today. This microscope is powered by a beam of electrons with very short wavelengths. These electrons strike objects that come in its path and helps increase the resolution of the microscope. The electron microscope is one of the types of microscopes used to study cells like tiny viral cells as well as larger molecules.
Which microscope do not use a beam of light?
Electron Microscope
