- microscopes
- allows scientists to see plant, animal and bacteria cells
- some sub-cellular structures are even smaller that the resolution that a light microscope can achieve
- the ability to see two or more objects as separate objects is called resolution
- in 1933 scientists first used an electron microscope
- the light microscope was developed in the late 16th century and gave a greater resolution than the human eye
- an electron microscope passes electrons instead of light this means it can give a much better resolution
- cell can been seen in finer detail showing structures inside the cell like the mitochondria, chloroplasts and ribosomes
- an electron microscope passes electrons instead of light this means it can give a much better resolution
