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 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 advantages and disadvantages of stereo microscopes?
advantages: you can clearly see the color of the object. you can use living samples it requires little or no preparation of the sample disadvantages: uses low magnification
Name the two types of microscopes?
There are a variety of microscope types, but two large and different types are electron microscopes and optical microscopes. Optical microscopes are cheaper, and are commercially available for even you to buy. They work with lenses, and in many cases, oil emulsions. Electron microscopes work by bombarding specimens with electron beams. They are significantly more expensive than optical microscopes, but give a better quality image and come with vastly superior magnification levels, due to the fact that electrons have wavelengths circa 100,000 shorter than photons, or light. This enables you to see things in much greater detail.
What are the types of microscopes that are available today?
digital microscopes,compound microscopes,electron microscopes,pocket microscopes,usb computer microscopes,scanning microscopes,stereo microscopes.
What would be a good sentence with the word magnification?
The magnification power of modern microscopes is amazing.
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 are the advantages of electron microscopes?
The advantages of electron microscopes are : -Higher magnification
One advantage of electron microscopes over light microscopes is their?
Higher Magnification
How is magnification controlled in microscopes?
by the objective lenses
How does the magnifying power of an electron microscope compared to the magnifying power of a compound microscope?
Electron microscopes are more powerful in terms of magnification, compared to compound microscopes. They are capable of two million-power magnification, while compound microscopes are only capable of 1000x 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 the total magnification for AFM microscopes?
up to 15,000x
What is magnification of the ocular?
Most light microscopes have 10X eyepieces.
How do microscopes differ in magnification and resolution?
i don't know microamc as
How did microscopes influence astronomy?
As microscopes they did not but they were the first form of optical magnification, so were to lead to the development of optical telescopes.
The magnification and resolution capabilities are highest in the?
The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) has the highest magnification and resolution of all microscopes.
