- Microscopes
- Light Microscopes
- For regular use when relatively low magnification and resolution is enough
- Used to study living cells
- Throughout their development, the magnification of light microscopes has increased, but very high magnifications are not possible.
- Electron Microscopes
- Electron microscopes use a beam of electrons instead of beams or rays of light.
- Living cells cannot be observed using an electron microscope because samples are placed in a vacuum.
- Electron microscopes can magnify images about two million times.
- Magnification of the microscope = magnification of eyepiece × magnification of objective
- Magnification = size of image ÷ real size of object
- Light Microscopes
