it's cheaper than an electron microscope and doesn't require trained people to use it.
To see small things
simple or dissecting microscope -
Just One A Convex one a simple microscope is a simple magnifier?
There are several type of microscopes, mainly, the one that we use in lab is a simple light microscope or a compound microscope. Then we have the phase contrast microscope, fluorescent microscope, electron microscope (transmission electron microscope [TEM] and scanning electron microscope [SEM]), confocal microscope and even dissection microscope the one which we use during dissections.
An electron microscope provides the highest amount of magnification compared to a light microscope or a simple microscope. Electron microscopes use a beam of electrons to visualize specimens at much higher magnifications and resolutions than light microscopes.
Microscopes are classified as simple or compound based on the number of lenses they use. Simple microscopes have only one lens, while compound microscopes use multiple lenses to magnify the image of the specimen.
compound microscope
To view a tapeworm, you would use a light microscope. First, prepare a microscope slide with a sample of the tapeworm, then place it under a light microscope for viewing. This type of microscope allows you to observe the external and internal structures of the tapeworm.
The compound microscope enables us to see microscopic objects more clearly than the naked eye or the simple microscope
Robert Hookes microscope had either two or more lenses. a simple microscope has one lens in it.
created the microscope in 1653
The to types of microscope are as following : 1. Simple microscope 2. compound microscope differences between these both is as following: simple microscope has one Len but compound microscope has two Len.
