What are examples of non-optical microscopes?

Examples of non-optical microscopes include scanning electron microscopes (SEM), transmission electron microscopes (TEM), and atomic force microscopes (AFM). These types of microscopes use electron beams or probe tips to create high-resolution images of samples at the nanoscale level.


What types of microscopes could be used to study viruses?

Electron microscopes, such as transmission electron microscopes (TEM) and scanning electron microscopes (SEM), are commonly used to study viruses due to their high magnification and resolution capabilities. These types of microscopes allow scientists to visualize the detailed structure and morphology of viruses at the nanometer scale. Light microscopes may also be used to study larger viruses.


What is an advantage of light microscopes compared to electron microscopes is that light microscopes?

Light microscopes allow you to view living specimens and electron microscopes do not allow this.


What advantage of electron microscopes compared to light microscopes is that electron microscopes?

have a higher resolution, allowing for the visualization of smaller objects and details. They also have a higher magnification, offering greater detail and clarity in the images produced. Additionally, electron microscopes can resolve structures that are beyond the resolving power of light microscopes.


What type of microscopes do scientist use when they want to examine specimens that are smaller than those which can be seen using a light microscope?

Scientists use electron microscopes, such as transmission electron microscopes (TEM) and scanning electron microscopes (SEM), to examine specimens that are smaller than what can be seen using a light microscope. These microscopes use beams of electrons instead of light to achieve higher resolution and magnification, allowing scientists to observe structures at the nanoscale.
