?
Magnification
how many times bigger the image is compared to the size of the object
1 of 11
magnification=
size of image ÷ size of object
2 of 11
size of object=
size of image ÷ magnification
3 of 11
Resolution
the minimum distance apart the two objects can be in order to appear as separate items
4 of 11
Resolution
greater resolution means greater clarity
5 of 11
Cell Fractionation
the process where cells are broken up and different organelles they contain are separated out
6 of 11
The solution is: cold...
to reduce enzyme activity
7 of 11
The solution is: isotonic...
to prevent organelles bursting as a result of osmotic loss or gain
8 of 11
The solution is: buffered...
to maintain a constant pH

Ultracentrifugation
the process by which fragments are filtered and separated
10 of 11
Ultracentrifugation
spins the tubes at a high speed and the heaviest organelles fall to the bottom
