- 1What is the magnification and resolution of light microscopes? (2)Magnification: 1500x - 2000x
Resolution: limited - structures closer together than 200nm will appear as one object - 2What is the magnification and resolution on transmission electron microscopes (TEM)? (2)Magnification: 2,000,000x
Resolution: higher than optical light microscopes - 3What kind of image is produced by TEMs? (2)2D; black and white
- 4What is the magnification and resolution on a scanning electron microscope (SEM)? (2)Magnification: 15x - 2,000,000x
Resolution: higher than optical light microscopes - 5What kind of image is produced by SEMs? (2)3D; black and white
- 6What is the resolution on a Laser Scanning/Confocal microscope? (1)High resolution
- 7What kind of image is produced by Laser Scanning/Confocal microscopes? (1)High contrast images
- 8EQUATION Magnification; Image size; Actual size
- 9DEFINE: Magnificationthe number of times larger an image appears compared to the size of the object
- 10DEFINE: Resolutionthe clarity of an image; the higher the resolution, the clearer the image
