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.

Does using a scanning electron microscope kill specimen?

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.


What type of microscope can be used to view non living specimens?

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.


What major advantage does a transmission electron microscope have over a compound light microscope?

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.


Which virus can be seen without electron microscope?

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.

Was the electron microscope invented by a Canadian?

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.


What type of microscope do you need to see a ribosome?

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.

What type of microscope would you use to examine the surface details of a cell?

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.
