Why do scientists get the thinnest possible sample to look at in a microscope?
depending on what microscope, a beam of light or electron bean has to be able to permeate parts of the sample
What was the instrument that made cell exploration possible microscope?
Yes. Both the light microscope and the electron micrope helped to uncover the cell anatomy and functions.
Why are some of the cell organelles not clear in the structure of the cells observed under microscope?
It is not possible to see organelles with a compound light microscope because some organelles are to small to be seen with the low magnification of the light microscope. If they can not be seen through the compound microscope they are normally looked at through the electron microscopes (transmission electron microscope {TEM} or scanning electron microscope {SEM}).
What microscope is used to discover cells?
Light microscope were used to discover cells
An instrument that produces images by focusing light rays is called a?
a magnifying glass, a telescope or microscope all do this.
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 can be seen under a electron microscope and not a light microscope?
An electron microscope has a much higher magnifying power and resolution than a regular light microscope. One can visualize molecules and even atoms using an electron microscope. This is not possible with a light microscope
What came first in scientific study of living things?
Light microscope
What is a transmission electron microscope used for?
The transmission electron microscope operates on the same principle as the light microscope but uses electrons instead of light. What you can see with a light microscope is limited by the wavelength of light. Transmission electron microscopes use electrons as "light source" and their much lower wavelength makes it possible to get a resolution a thousand times better than with light microscope.
How is it possible to study viruses under the light microscope?
impossible is nothing
What kind of microscope do students use in a science class?
Normally a light microscope. Electro-microscopes are only really used in scientific laboratories
What makes a microscope scientific?
A microscope is scientific on a number of levels. Firstly, it is a product of optical physics - usually light, to magnify an object is a scientific process and invention in itself. In addition, it is also used commonly in science, such as biological or physics research.
What came first electron microscope or light microscope?
compound light microscope - cell theory - electron microscope
What is a transmission electron microscope used for diagnosis?
The transmission electron microscope operates on the same principle as the light microscope but uses electrons instead of light. What you can see with a light microscope is limited by the wavelength of light. Transmission electron microscopes use electrons as "light source" and their much lower wavelength makes it possible to get a resolution a thousand times better than with light microscope.
Why do scientists get the thinnest possible sample to look at in a microscope?

What microscope uses visible light?
The light microscope uses visible light. Light microscopes are what are usually used in science classrooms.
How does an electron microscope differs from a light microscope?
The light microscope use the visible light; the electron microscope use an electrons beam.
