Term
compound light microscope
Definition
Light passes through the object
Magnification up to 1000 times
Resolution up to 500 nanometers
Two Lenses are Used!
Term
transmission electron microscope
Definition
Passes a beam of electrons through the object
Focused by magnets
Only dead cells can be viewed
Cells must be embedded in plastic and sliced thin
Much greater magnification & resolution (.2nm)
Term
scanning electron microscope
Definition
Beam of electrons sweeps over and bounces off of object
Produces a 3-D image
Less magnification than TEM
Possible for living cells
