How does it work? • Uses Light and lenses • Most common type in schools • Can magnify up to 2000x the actual size
Pros and Cons • Observe living things • Observe cellular processes like cytoplasmic streaming, cilia beating • Limited magnification • Limit of resolution What is the solution for the disadvantages?
Electron Microscope • TEM • Greater magnification • High resolving power • Beam of electrons pass through specimen • SEM • Greater magnification • High resolving power • Beam of electrons hit & bounce off specimen What direct the direction of movement of electrons to create an image?
