Electron microscope
A microscope with high magnification and resolution, employing electron beams in place of light and using electron lenses.
1 of 8
Instrument's resolution
The fineness of detail that can be seen in an image
2 of 8
Why some cells can be seen with Electron and not Light microscopes
Some cell structures too small to be resolved (an electron microscope has a greater magnifying power). Alight mocroscope can magnify up to 1000x
3 of 8
How to calculate the total magnification
Multiply the magnification of the lenses together
4 of 8
How to calculate magnification using an equation
Magnification = Measured size divided by Actual size
5 of 8
Calculating size
Measure length of specimen (mm). Measure length of scale bar (mm). divide the length of specimen by the length of scale bar.
6 of 8
Calculating size (continued)
Multiply scale bar with the last answer (units are the same as the scale bar)
7 of 8
SI Prefix
10 (to the power of 12) - 1 000 000 000 000, (Tera (T). 1 000 Kilo (K) - 10 (to the power of 3)
