Best Answer

A scanning electron microscope has a very large depth of field which makes the images produced appear three dimensional. Magnifications from 25X to 250,000X (250 times the magnification limit of a light microscope) are possible.

Although my Science Text book says it can reach a magnification of 300 000X, but most specimens are easier to view at magnification less than 10 000X.

What does an aerospace engineer wear to work?

So what does an aerospace engineer wear? You can just look on Google Images and see what they're wearing. Some of them look like they're wearing casual clothes (who'd want to wear a tux to inspect aircraft?), like a t-shirt and jeans, etc. Some pictures even look like they have lab coats. But that's just a rough view of what they'd wear. I've even read on some websites that they have to wear uniforms, but that depends on your company.


What is the maximum payment of an aeronautical engineer?

Pay depends on the job. In general, engineers make more initially out of school, but have a lower cap on salary than other jobs. For example, teachers may make about 30-40k, while you can earn 50-60k right out of school. Teachers can become principals or superintendents, and make over 100k, while engineers (without going into management) have a cap of about 100k. This is general and will change depending on the job you get. Also, remember that the aerospace industry is heavily dependent on government funding; when there are budgets to slash, air and space are always foremost on the chopping block.

What disadvantages do SEM microscopes have of light?

The two main advantages of SEM over light microscopy is that the SEM has a much deeper depth of field and that it has higher resolution than a light microscope can achieve and the resultant much higher magnification from the SEM.

What is the total magnification of a compound microscope?

The ocular lens are 10x magnification. Objective lens are 4x, 10x, 40x, 100x magnification. So once an objective lens is selected, the total magnification would be given by its product with the 10x magnification of the ocular lens. For example, if objective lens selected is 40x, total magnification would be: (10x)(40x)=400x total.
