- 1CompartmentalisationDividing the cytoplasm into membrane-bound organelles.
- 2ProkaryotesCells with a simple cell structure, without membrane bound organelles.
- 3EukaryotesCells that contain a nucleus and membrane bound organelles.
- 4Light microscopeMicroscope that uses a beam of light passing through one or more lenses to magnify an object.
- 5Electron microscopeMicroscope that forms an image by focusing beams of electrons onto a specimen.
