What else can I help you with?
Are atoms too small to be seen with the eye or ordinary tools?
Yes, atoms are too small to be seen with the naked eye or ordinary tools like microscopes. Atoms are on the nanoscale, which is much smaller than what our eyes or even conventional microscopes can detect. Specialized tools, like scanning tunneling microscopes, are required to observe atoms.
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 does compound microscopes have in different than electron microscopes?
Compound microscopes use visible light to magnify images up to 1000x, while electron microscopes use a beam of electrons to achieve much higher magnification (up to 1 million x). Electron microscopes offer higher resolution and can visualize structures at the cellular and molecular level, but they are more expensive and require specialized training to operate.
Can you see an individual atom?
We can see atoms but only through very powerful scanning tunnel microscopes and we can only see their outer shell and not whats inside. With the aid of nanothechnology we can now even arrange atoms. But we are a long time of seeing atoms beyond their shell.
What kind of atoms make up the compound iodine?
Iodine is not a compound. It is an element. Therefore, it has its own atoms: Iodine atoms.
What makes microscopes compound or simple?
Compound microscopes have two or more lenses
can a scientist see atoms?
No, scientists cannot directly see atoms because of their very small size. Instead, scientists use techniques like scanning electron microscopes or atomic force microscopes to indirectly visualize atoms and their structures.
What are the types of microscopes that are available today?
digital microscopes,compound microscopes,electron microscopes,pocket microscopes,usb computer microscopes,scanning microscopes,stereo microscopes.
How electron microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopes how contributed to the understanding of atoms?
Electron microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopes gives us a greater understanding of atoms by being able to see the atom itself, and lets us see some atomic reactions.
Why are light microscopes also called compound microscopes?
Light microscopes are called compound because a light microscope has more than one lense.
Are Microscopes simple or compound?
There are different types of microscopes, and some are simple and some are compound. It depends on which microscope you are talking about.
What have microscopes discovered?
Microscopes have helped discover everything that is too small to see with your eyes. Conventional microscopes like the ones you would use in schools to look at cells with helped us to discover.cells. They also help scientists to see smaller components of larger objects. Electron microscopes (extraordinarily expensive) were only invented in 1933, but these allowed us to see MUCH smaller things such as atoms and the individual particles that make up atoms.
Why are microscopes important to scientists?
So that they can see atoms and cells and other tiny things like particles
Microscopes are classified as simple or compound depending upon what?
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.
Type of microscopes made up of two or more lens?
Compound microscopes
Can atoms be viewed with microscopes?
yes
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.
