BiologyPractical applications of biologyASAll boards Created by: HeiwaCreated on: 28-11-12 15:13 define resolution the degree to which it is possible to distinguish two points as separate from each other. 1 of 10 define magnification the degree to which the size of an image is larger than the object itself. 2 of 10 what is the maximum magnification of a light microscope? x1500 3 of 10 a light microscope has a resolving power of 200nm. what causes this to be so small? as light has a large wavelength 4 of 10 what are 2 advantages of using a light microscope compared to an electron microscope? very cheap and easy to use 5 of 10 what are the 2 stages specimens must go through to be ready for microscopy? staining and sectioning 6 of 10 what formula would you use to calculate image size? Image size = actual size x magnification 7 of 10 what are the 2 different types of electron microscopes? scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) 8 of 10 What is an advantage of using an electron microscope over a light microscope? produces a 3D image that reveals a detailed image of cellular and tissue arrangements 9 of 10 what is the resolution of an electron microscope? 0.1nm 10 of 10
