How many times larger can an electron microscope magnify more than a light microscope?
That's right, an electron microscope can produce more magnification than a compound light microscope.
What microscope is used to see the inside of a cell?
A variety of different microscopes can be used to visualize the sub-cellular structures in a cell. They can be:a bright field microscope (simple in construction but not very accurate)A phase contrast microscope (gives a better idea of the three dimensional orientation of the sub-cellular structures)A fluorescent microscope (the most specific type of scope. This allows one to see very specific structures like the individual strands of actin that make up the cytoskeleton)
What is a microscope in science?
There is a compound light microscope, an scannignn electron microscope, and transmission electron microscope.
What is a type of electron microscope?
compound microscope is one
What kind of microscope is found in most classrooms?
Optical, though to see smaller organelles and structures in higher resolution an electron microscope may be necessary.
What came first electron microscope or light microscope?
compound light microscope - cell theory - electron microscope
What are the various KINDS of a microscope?
Stereomicroscope, Compound Microscope, Phase-contrast microscope, electron microscope, Scanning-electron microscope, Transmission electron microscope, Confocal-scanning microscope. THESE ARE JUST SOME. :)
Why was the invention of the electron microscope significant to your understanding of cellular functions?
because the invention of the electron microscope helps us in the community by helping us understand the cellular functions.
What is the main disadvantage of the electron microscope over a compound microscope?
You can only view non-living things under the electron microscope, while with the compound you can view living organisms
The fine structures of the cell can be seen with the?
Electron microscope
What is the differences between a compound and electron microscope?
The compound microscope is a light microscope that uses light to "see" microbes. Viruses are too small.The electron microscope uses electrons to "see" microbes or viruses.
What kind what microscopes would be better to see a virus. your options are compound light microscope Transmission Eltron Microscope Scanning Electron Microscope?
electron microscope
The type of microscope that focuses beams of electrons on specimens is the?
compound light microscope
