Can you see a chlorine molecule in a microscope?
No, a chlorine molecule is much smaller than the wavelength of visible light, so it cannot be seen with a standard light microscope. Special equipment like electron microscopes would be needed to visualize molecules at that scale.
What is the difference between a compound microscope and an electron microscope?
Compound microscopes (also called compound light microscopes) employ light and an array of glass lenses to magnify an object. (This is distinguished from a simple microscope of one lens.) An electron microscope uses a beam of electrons to magnify an object. The lensing system employs electric and magnetic fields and is specialized for applications requiring much higher magnification. See related links.
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.
Is compound microscope and electron microscope same?
An optical microscope of any type uses the light passing through glass lenses. A compound microscope is simply one that uses 2 or more lenses in series. The image is formed normally either in the observer's eye or in a camera fitted to the instrument, or in certain types may be projected onto a screen. An electron microscope passes a finely-focussed beam of electrons through the sample, and creates the resulting image on a photographic film or electronic detectors. The instrument is used to resolve objects that are far smaller than are possible with optical microscopes.
How is a compound microscope different from a magnifying lens?
A compound microscope uses multiple lenses to magnify the image, allowing for higher magnification and resolution compared to a simple magnifying lens. The compound microscope also has a light source to illuminate the specimen, enabling better visibility of details. Additionally, compound microscopes typically have adjustable focus and magnification levels for more precise viewing.
What structure does light pass through after leaving the condenser in a compound light microscope?
After leaving the condenser in a compound light microscope, light passes through the specimen on the slide.
What is a light microscope that has two more lenses?
A compound microscope
What is an instrument that allows light to pass through the specimen and uses two lens to from an image called?
The answer you are looking for is called a dissecting or stereo microscope. These provide a lower magnification range in comparison to compound microscopes and they use two sets of lenses, the eyepiece and the objective lenses. these then provide a 3D image.
What is a Photograph of a specimen taken through a compound light microscope called?
A photograph of a specimen taken through a compound light microscope is called a photomicrograph.
Why is a compound microscope called a light microscope?
A compound light microscope is named for the use of more than one lens to collect and focus light, and magnify the image.
What type of energy does the compound microscope use?
A compound microscope typically uses light energy, specifically visible light, to illuminate the sample being observed. This light passes through the lenses of the microscope to magnify and visualize the specimen.
What type microscope allows light to pass through the specimen and uses two lenses to form an image?
a compound light microscope
Magnifies by allowing light to pass through an object and then through two or more lenses?
a compound light microscope
What is the difference between a compound microscope and a light microscopes?
light microscopes shoe only black and white pictures. When a compound microscope shows color when you look through the eye-piece.
A photograph of a specimen taken through a compound light microscope is called?
Photomicrograph
Why light microscope also called compound microscope?
Light microscopes are called compound because a light microscope has more than one lense.
What structure does a light pass through after leaving the condenser in a compound light microscope?
After leaving the condenser in a compound light microscope, the light passes through the specimen on the slide. The light is then refracted and magnified by the objective lens, and further magnified by the eyepiece before reaching the eye of the observer.
