What is a non-optical microscope that magnifies up to 250000?

An electron microscope is a non-optical microscope that can magnify up to 250,000 times or more. By using a beam of accelerated electrons instead of light, electron microscopes provide extremely high resolution images of samples at the atomic and molecular level.


Electron microscopes use a beam of light to produce a magnified image?

Actually, electron microscopes use a beam of electrons instead of light to produce a magnified image. This allows for much higher magnification and resolution compared to optical microscopes.


What is the difference between an electron and a light microscope?

A light microscope is a simple microscope that magnifies light that it collects and spread onto a screen digitally or optically. Electron microscopes is a microscope that fire electrons onto a object then it is bounced back to form an image. It enlarges the image when it is bounced back. It is fired consistently to receive a constant image. It is viewed with a electronic screen. When the electron is fired it creates light which bounces back as well. It can magnify much bigger than a optical microscope.


Was the electron microscope invented in Germany?

Yes. German engineers Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll built the first machine in 1931 in Germany. It didn't outperform the best optical microscopes, but it served to demonstrate the ideas. A couple of years later, Ernst Ruska (working for Siemens in one of their German locations) built an electron microscope that surpassed the resolution limits of an optical microscope. Wikipedia has a nice article on the history of the electron microscope, and a link is provided to that post. You'll find it below.


In what situations would a compound light microscope be a better chiice then an electron microscope for studying an object?

It rather depends on how deeply you wish to view the object. An optical microscope is adequate for most studies. But, with an electron microscope, not only could you view a flea in detail, but also the minute hairs on the flea's legs

What is one important advantage an optical microscope has over a more powerful electron microscope?

An optical microscope is generally simpler to use and more cost-effective than an electron microscope. It also allows for the observation of living specimens in real-time due to lower levels of specimen preparation.


Is there are difference between an optical microscope and a microscope?

A microscope is any device used to view an entity that is otherwise invisible to the unaided eye, or to view better details of a very small visible object. An optical microscope is one type that uses the refractive properties of a series of lenses to magnify an image for viewing i.e. a standard lab microscope.
