Microscopy

Question 1

Electron Microscope

Answer 1

Generates images at higher magnification and resolution

Question 2

Transmission Electron Microscopes

Answer 2

Shoots beams of electrons through a thin sample; since electrons are smaller than light, it shows a detailed image

Question 3

Scanning Electron Microscopes

Answer 3

Instead of light, the microscope uses a beam of electrons that scans across the surface of the sample

Question 4

Cryogenic Electron Microscopy

Answer 4

Involves freezing samples before viewing

Question 5

Magnification calculations

Answer 5

M = Image/Actual
