What type of microscope can be used to view non living specimens?
The light microscope and the electron microscope refers to the type of microscope that is used to view the non- living specimen. The non-living specimen is usually placed in a slide.
What is a cell and who discovered it?
Cells are the basic units of structure in a living thing and I beilieve Robert Hooke discovered them while looking under a microscope and found dead cork cells.
What is the main disadvantage of the electron microscope over a compound microscope?
The main disadvantage of an electron microscope compared to a compound microscope is that it requires a more complex and expensive setup. Electron microscopes also cannot be used to observe living specimens because the process typically involves vacuum conditions and sample preparation techniques that would kill living cells.
How can a microscope determine if the specimen is a living thing?
In a microscope some microorganisms may be checked if they are living or not e.g. Euglena , Paramecium etc. can easily be checked but Bacteria can't be checked , there are other methods for checking them .
Which type of microscope can observe non-living cells?
A tunneling electron microscope cannot image live specimens.
Robert Hooke thought that animals did not have cells because he had not yet invented the microscope?
he was only looking at dead cork cells, but he was not looking at any living things.
What type of microscope can be used to view non living specimens?
The light microscope and the electron microscope refers to the type of microscope that is used to view the non- living specimen. The non-living specimen is usually placed in a slide.
What microscope provides the greatest magnification of preserved living specimens?
Transmission electron microscope
Why is the microscope important in the study of zoology?
Because with the use of a microscope we are able to view living and non-living organisms that are invisible to the naked eye.
What do you use to look at tiny living things?
a microscope Either a microscope or a magnifying glass, depending on just how small the 'tiny living things' are.
What kind of microscope can you see living organisms in?
A compound light microscope can be used to see living organisms. This type of microscope uses visible light and lenses to magnify the image of the specimen, allowing scientists to observe living cells and organisms in detail.
How a microscope could be used to determine if the specimen is a living thing?
Technology is used... such as heat sensors you cant tell just by looking through a microscope you have to use technology... unless of course it moves and multiplies or you recognize cells. (The latter requires that you have a pretty good idea of what cells look like.)
What kind of microscope would you use to view living specimens?
A regular microscope, use the 500X for details.
What is a cell and who discovered it?

Can living object be viewed with electron microscope?
No Way..!
What is the main disadvantage of the electron microscope over a compound microscope?
The main disadvantage of an electron microscope compared to a compound microscope is that it requires a more complex and expensive setup. Electron microscopes also cannot be used to observe living specimens because the process typically involves vacuum conditions and sample preparation techniques that would kill living cells.
Can a Scanning Electron Microscope be used on living specimens?
No, a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) cannot be used on living specimens because the high vacuum and electron beam used in an SEM would quickly kill the specimen. For observing living specimens, a different type of microscope, such as an optical microscope or a specially designed environmental SEM, should be used.
