microscopes Flashcards
what an electron microscope is?
itโs made out of electrons and it has higher resolution and magnification so it can see more clearly and in detail.
instruments resolution
the smallest change in a quantity that gives a change in the reading that can be seen
explain why some call structures can be seen with an electron microscope but not with a light microscope
electron microscope have a higher magnification and resolution than light microscopes, so we can see smaller things ( cell structures ) in more detail.
total magnification formula
total magnification = eyepiece lens magnification x objective lens magnification
calculate size using magnification formula
image size = magnification x real size
interpret the si prefixes milli- micro- nano- and pico-
