objects or structures seen through a microscope that have been created during th processing of the specimen.
artefact
1 of 11
a light microscope which uses two lenses to magnify an object; the objective lens, which is placed near to the specimen and an eyepiece lens, through which the specimen is viewed.
compound light
2 of 11
microscopy using a microscope that employs a beam of electrons to illuminate the specimen. As electrons have a much smaller wavelength than light they produce images with higher resolutions than light microscopes.
electron microscopy
3 of 11
a microscope that employs a beam of fluorescence and a pin-hole aperture to produce an image with a very high resolution.
laser scanning confocal
4 of 11
an instrument that uses visible light and glass lenses to enable the user to see objects magnified many times.
light microscope
5 of 11
the shortest distance between two objects that are still seen as separate objects.
resolution
6 of 11
an electron microscope in which a beam of electrons is sent across the surface of a specimen and the reflected electrons are focused to produce a three- dimensional image of the specimen surface.
scanning electron microscopy
7 of 11
a slide with a scale in micrometres (μm) etched into it. Used to measure the size of a sample under a light microscope.
stage graticule
8 of 11
dyes used in microscopy sample preparation to increase contrast or identify specific components.
stains
9 of 11
an electron microscope in which a beam of electrons is transmitted through a specimen and focused to produce an image.
transmission electron microscopy
10 of 11
the ultrastructure of a cell is those features which can be seen by using an electron microscope.
