Depending on the desired results, several types of scanning probe microscopes can be found in hi-tech labs to achieve the maximum magnification. These include atomic force microscope, scanning tunneling microscope, electrostatic force microscope, kelvin probe force microscope, magnetic resonance force microscope, and piezoresponse force microscope.

What type of microscope would be best to use if you wanted to look at the parts inside of a cell?
you could use any regular microscope that has magnification up to 400 but the best type of microscope to use would be an electron microscope if you could afford one
What is the highest magnification power of a microscope?
This depends on the type of microscope. Scanning tunneling microscopes have resolutions at the atomic level. Not that we can see the individual atoms and their structure in a scan. This is by todays technology impossible. (It is also thought to be impossible by future technology.) We can however quite accurately pinpoint the location of individual surface atoms in various metals and alloys. This helps us understand their structure combined. If we talk about the best of the best microscopes that uses visible light, then the best magnification we can hope to achieve is approx 1.500 times. The light and its wavelength is the problem when trying for more.
Best reason for using a scanning elcerton microscope?
Wanting to see things smaller than can be seen by normal light microscopes (magnification more than 800x)
What is the highest TEM magnification?
Up to about 750,000 times. Strictly, it is not magnification that matters with any microscope. There is no practical value in enlarging an image if the enlargement reveals no further detail, but just makes the blur bigger!The critical factor is resolution, which is a measure of the detail that can be discerned in the image. A transmission electron microscope (TEM) has, at best, a resolution of about 1 nm, which means that objects closer than 1 nanometer apart cannot be distinguished. This is about 100 times the best resolution available using a light microscope.
Which type of microscope would be the best tool to use to view the surface of a bacterial cell And why?
A scanning electron microscope would be the best choice because the electron microscope can achieve a much greater resolution than that obtained with the light microscope because the wavelength of electrons is shorter than that of light.
Low power magnification is best for scanning objects under the microscope?
Yes. 4x - low power magnification is best for scanning objects under a microscope. Why? I honestly don't know but will guess; medium and high power are based off the setting of low power - you don't use coarse adjustment knob for medium and high only fine detail because the coarse is already adjusteded from low.
How is macroscopic magnification computed?
The eye piece provides x10 magnification, and times it by the low power objective. (Smallest tube) So, if the low power objective was x10, and the eye piece being 10, then the magnification would be x100 Use this for other objectives too.
What is the best in hYderabad?
There are many things you can experience. The Charminar, the Hitech city, the Food, the shopping in-fact, everything!
What microscope is recommended to view a detailed structure of a cell nucleus?
an electron microscopean elctron microscope
Which type of microscope has the best resolution?
an electron microscope
What is the lens that is closest to the eye in a light microscope?
On a microscope with the usual 3-lens turret it is usual to use the objective lens with the lowest magnification to first examine your specimen. This gives a wider overall view of the subject, and will allow you to choose the particular detail that best suits your study. You may then move on to a higher magnification, if necessary, to study finer detail. If you started with the highest magnification, your fine focus will be uncertain, and you risk the front of the objective lens coming into contact with the sample slide. This could damage your specimen, and may damage the front of the lens.
The best reason for using a scanning electron microscope?
advantages of SEM 1- large depth of field 2- much higher resolution 3- high magnification 4- we could use it for bulk material
