Microscope observation
2 factor
Contrast
Resolution
Def of contrast
Ability to see between structure
It is the result of a structure capacity to absorb light
It is increased by using stains
Def staining /fixation
Kills the cells
The stain attaches to internal structure in the cell
Resolution
Is the ability to distinguish
Two structures that are close together
Technology advancement
Have allowed for advancement in research and medical , help to study cell structure and see,
Types of technology
Fluorescence microscope
Confocal technology
Electron microscope
Def fluorescence microscopy
It use ultraviolet light ti make cells fluorescence.
Confocal
Use laser beams and computer to produce 3d images
Electron
User use beams of electrons to produce an image
Types of Electron microscopes
Transmission Electron
Scanning Electron
Tem Def
Use dead specimens
Passes a beam of electrons through stained tissue embedded in plastic
SEM Def .
Electrons bounce off of glod covered specimens, produce 3d images.
