Simple staining is often necessary to improve contrast in what microscope?
The type of microscopy that uses chemical stains to add color and increase contrast is light. The type of microscope that can be used to observe very small surface details is called a scanning electron.
Which type of microscope produces images on the surface of a cell?
Scanning electron microscope
What microscope creates an image of the surface?
SEM
What kind of microscope is used to view living specimens?
a TEM (transmission Electron Microscope) shoots electrons through the specimen and shows internal features of the cella SEM (scanning electron microscope) Electrons bounce off of the surface of the specimen, and show a 3d image of the surface on the specimen.a STEM (scanning tunneling electron microscope) uses a needle like probe shoots electrons from the inside out, shows 3D surface image CAN be used on living specimens
What is a microscope that creates image of the surface of a sample?
microbiology
Which microscope is used to observe small surface detail?
Scanning electron microscope.
How do to observe the surface features of a bacterium you would use a?
electron microscope.
What details do you see when viewing specimens with the scanning electron microscope?
I can observe cell surface area such as cell wall or outer structure of cell.

What is the name of the telescope that uses a sharp needle that can trace the bumps in a surface made by individual atoms?
that is not a telescope that is a microscope. and most likely an electron microscope depending on what type they have the highest magnification of any other microscope.
What is the maximum power magnification of the microscope?
Actual magnification of light microscopes could reach up 1000x magnification depending on the type of light microscope. Light microscopes could be divided into brightfield microscope and phase-contrast microscope for viewing stained specimen and unstained specimen respectively. Magnification of electron microscope on the other hand could go up to 1000000x. The actual magnification as well depends on types of electron microscope which includes transmission-electron microscope and scanning-electron microscope where both of them are used in viewing internal cell structures and cell surface structures respectively.

What things are looked at through electron microscopes?
Really small things. Because there are limits to how small an object we can observe through a light microscope, we developed the electron microscope. By setting up a sample and streaming electrons at it to resolve an image, we can "see" things smaller than we'd be able to see through a light microscope.
Which type of microscope produces images on the surface of a cell?
Scanning electron microscope
What microscope best shows the surface of an object?
In what directions do images move under a microscope?
What microscope produces three dimensional images of living organisms?
A scanning tunneling microscope can show detailed surface structures but the organism must be prepared by being plated with a very thin layer of metal. Most organisms can't survive this process. To see a three dimensional image of a living organism you should select a stereo microscope.
What microscope creates an image of the surface?
SEM
