Bonus: How do you know when you are viewing yeast in the microscope?
They produce small buds. Like pimples
Why do you use the Stereoscope to view parasites?
For locomotion — to see the parasite move
Type of microscope:
Here, beams of electrons are hard to find
Electron Microscopes
This microscope cannot be used by anyone. You have to be trained for proper preparation because it might get contaminated
Electron microscope
The electron microscope is cheap.
T or F
False — It is pricey. You pay for the view.

Which EM let’s us see the:
- inner
- outer
Clue: Two answers
- TEM
- SEM
Type of microscope that uses atoms, It is not that useful
