Viruses. They are smaller than the average wavelength of light and as such are not viewable unless an electron microscope is used.

Why is it not good to tilt the microscope?

Tilting the microscope can result in misalignment of the optics, leading to a blurry image and potentially damaging the microscope lenses or slides. It can also disrupt the focus and calibration, affecting the accuracy of your observations. Keeping the microscope level ensures reliable and consistent results.


In relation to a microscopewhat is magnification and resolution?

Magnification is the amount by which the image you see will be larger than the actual object, ie. if the image you see appears to be twice as large as the original object then it will be a 2x magnification. (magnification = size of image / size of object) Resolution is the smallest possible visible thing on the enlarged image. On a satellite picture the resolution may be 1m2 meaning that anything smaller is not visible on that picture. In the case of an electron microscope, for example, anything smaller than 1 electron will not be visible using the electron microscope.


What is the meaning of the light source of microscope?

it is the piece located on the base that shines light on the slide that you are looking at. the light shines through diaphragm and makes the thing your looking at easier to view and more "in focus". the diaphragm is the thing that adjusts how bright the light is


What is an electro microscope?

An electron microscope is a type of microscope that uses a beam of accelerated electrons instead of light to generate high-resolution images of very small objects. This allows for magnification and resolution beyond the limits of light microscopes, making it a powerful tool for observing extremely small details in various materials.


What is the meaning of imperssion?

Impression refers to the impact or effect that something has on an individual's perception, opinion, or understanding of a person, thing, or situation. It can also refer to the number of times an advertisement or content is viewed by an audience.

What part of compound microscope magnifies object?

The objective lenses of a compound microscope are the parts that magnify the object being viewed. These lenses are located close to the specimen and provide the initial magnification before the image is further magnified by the eyepiece.

What are the advantages of an electron microscope over an image or a video?

An electron microscope can bombard things with electrons and create a virtual construction of the thing being viewed. An image or video relies of much larger light particles. An electron microscope can actually make a reconstruction of things like atoms. When it comes to cells, its much more accurate.


Why it is not good to tilt microscope?

it is not good because when you tilt it , you cannot identify the thing what you observed easier . the specimen might fall down. -NOCNHS ♥

Compare van leeuwenhoek's microscope with the modern compound microscope?

Answersimple first one is: their both different in quality. For example, a light microscope would use sunlight as its source of power,and therefore less effective. Compound microscope use electricity as its source of power for the same usage, which would be stronger and better to see the details in the specimen.
