The reason that you might not have an electron microscope at school is because they are very expensive. Another reason is because they are very sensitive and one little mistake made by a student can damage the microscope.
No, using a scanning electron microscope does not kill the specimen. The specimen is placed in a vacuum chamber during imaging, but this process does not kill the specimen.
The light microscope and the electron microscope refers to the type of microscope that is used to view the non- living specimen. The non-living specimen is usually placed in a slide.
The Compund light microscope allows people to view living cells. With the electron light microscope peole can only view dead cells but with very high detail. The electron microscope is also much more expensive than a compound ligh microscope. The compound light microscope is also much easier to transport from place to place, as the electron microscope is not.
Some viruses can be seen without an electron microscope using a light microscope. These include larger viruses such as herpesviruses and poxviruses, which may be visible at higher magnifications. However, smaller viruses like influenza or HIV typically require an electron microscope for visualization due to their size.
I think that in most school microscopes, it is 10x
No, the electron microscope was not invented by a Canadian. The electron microscope was invented by German physicist Ernst Ruska in 1931, along with Max Knoll. The invention revolutionized microscopy by using a beam of electrons to illuminate specimens, allowing for much higher magnification and resolution compared to traditional light microscopes.
You would need an electron microscope to see a ribosome, as they are very small structures, typically around 20-30 nanometers in size, which are below the resolution limit of a light microscope. Electron microscopes use a beam of electrons instead of light to achieve much higher resolution.
I think you mean TEM. It stands for Transmission. Electron. Microscope:D Hope I helped. P.S I am only 12.
they are relatively smaller, electron ones are biggerthey are easy to usethey allow you to see coloured images, electron ones don'tyou can observe live specimen, specimen has to be dead with electron microscopesi was trying to view the answer in relation to transmmission
Around 1665 I think. I am studying it in school for a project.
I have think that you have to be a scientist to do that or idk i might just be dumb! LOL
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) would be used to examine the surface details of a cell. It provides high-resolution 3D images of the cell surface by scanning it with a focused beam of electrons.
