What does it look like when you look at the newspaper photo with an electron microscope at different levels of magnification?

Answer 1

An electron microscope is usually used to magnify things that are too small to be seen through a regular microscope. A news paper photo is printed with ink so the closer you get to it the more you would see the chemical composition of the ink, more so the texture. Some photos use pixelation meaning that the tiny dots that make up the picture would steadily get larger and farther apart the more you zoomed in until you were looking at the fibers of the paper or once again a very textural depiction of what ink is. However for things such as lettering you would inevitably see the texture of the dried ink in a much more detailed perception, and you would notice that there are tiny absences of the ink, where it dried with a certain amount of pressure, air or a protrusion of the paper in some places leaving tiny circles, too small to see with the eye, where there is no ink at all.

Answer 2

At lower levels of magnification, you would see the overall structure of the newspaper photo, including the arrangement of ink particles and paper fibers. As you increase magnification, finer details such as individual ink dots and the texture of the paper would become visible. At the highest levels of magnification, you may even be able to see the molecular structure of the ink and paper components.
