An advantage of fluorescence microscopy over staining techniques is that?
fluorescence microscopy can be used wit any light microscope
Are light-years stars?
No. A light-year is a measurement. A light year is a distance measurement based on how far light travels in a year.
What kinds of biological questions are addressed using a combination of light microscopy and cell fractionation?
Cell biology
What is the largest metric unit of length?
The meter, which is defined, as of 1983, as the length of the path traveled by light in a vacuum in an interval of 1/299792458 seconds. This is a Systeme Internationale standard measurement.
A light microscope that makes the specimen appear light on a dark background is called a?
A darkfield microscope makes the specimen appear light on a dark background. It is an instrument used in light microscopy.
Does light microscopy offer better magnification than electron microscopy?
No
Introduction in basic techniques in microscopy?
Introduction to basic techniques in microscopy involves light microscopy, laser scanning, types of dyes, the cell, electron microscopy, differential interface microscopy, histological stains and histochemical stains.
An advantage of fluorescence microscopy over staining techniques is that?
fluorescence microscopy can be used wit any light microscope
What is the definition of the term fluorescence microscopy?
The term "fluorescence microscopy" is a type of light microscopy in which the specimen is irradiated at wavelengths that excite fluorochromes. In medicine, it is used to detect antigens.
What is the Concept of Light Microscopy?
in biology physics biotechnology
What is the status of cells used in light microscopy?
Living!
What is Dark field microscopy?
Dark field microscopy (dark ground microscopy) describes microscopy methods, in both light and electron microscopy, which exclude the unscattered beam from the image. As a result, the field around the specimen (i.e. where there is no specimen to scatter the beam) is generally dark.
What is the differences between light reflection and light transmission microscopy?
Transmission microscopy and reflection microscopy refer to type of illumination used to view the object of interest in the microscope. Reflected light microscopy, also called episcopic illumination or just epi-illumination, uses top-down lighting to illuminate the specimen and the light is reflected back from the specimen to the viewer. This type of illumination is most often used with opaque specimens like metallurgical samples. Transmitted light microscopy, also called diascopic illumination, uses bottom-up illumination where the light is transmitted through the specimen to the viewer. This type of illumination is most often used with translucent specimens like biological cells.

Light microscopy and electron microscopy differences in practical use?
Electron microscopy gives higher resolution, but it's expensive, slow, and cumbersome. And for many things, it's not needed.
What is dark field?
Dark field microscopy (dark ground microscopy) describes microscopy methods, in both light and electron microscopy, which exclude the unscattered beam from the image. As a result, the field around the specimen (i.e. where there is no specimen to scatter the beam) is generally dark.
What has the author W G Hartley written?
W. G. Hartley has written: 'How to use a microscope' -- subject(s): Microscopes, Microscopy 'The light microscope' -- subject(s): History, Microscope and microscopy, Microscopy
What type of microscopy does not use light?
Electron microscopy; Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM). The vacuum required for electron microscopy to work correctly precludes the observation of living organisms. Biological samples must be dried then coated with a conductive metal.
