Microscopic Methods Flashcards
Illuminating source is the light.
Light Microscope
Specimen preparation takes usually few
minutes to hours.
Light Microscope
It has low resolving power (0.25µm to
0.3µm).
Light Microscope
It has a magnification of 500X to 1500X.
Light Microscope
The object is 5µm or thicker.
Light Microscope
Vacuum is not required.
Light Microscope
There is no need of high voltage electricity.
Light Microscope
There is no cooling system.
Light Microscope
Filament is not used.
Light Microscope
Radiation risk is absent.
Light Microscope
It is used for the study of detailed gross
internal structure
Light Microscope
Illuminating source is the beam of
electrons.
Electron Microscope
Specimen preparation takes usually takes
few days.
Electron Microscope
All lenses are electromagnetic
Electron Microscope
It has high resolving power (0.001µm),
about 250 times higher than light
microscope.
