1. What are the types of Microscopes?
The types of Microscopes are the light microscope, scanning electron
microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), dissection
microscope, and compound microscope. The light microscope uses light to examine
the specimen, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) uses beams of electrons to
view the specimen, and the transmission electron microscope (SEM) also uses beams
of electrons and electromagnets to view the specimen. A dissection microscope is
used for dissection to get a better look at the specimen. Compound microscope the
image seen with this type of microscope is two-dimensional. They have high
magnification however, have low resolution.
2. What is the difference between resolution and magnification?
Magnification is the ability to make the images of small objects bigger up to
a certain number of times than their actual sizes, on the other hand, resolution is the
ability to distinguish between parts of a certain object.
