(27 cards)
What is the total magnification of a microscope with two lenses when one lens is 15 and the other is 30?
450.
because you multiply 15x30.
How does magnification occur in an electron microscope?
An electron beam creates the image.

They are the basic unit of structure and function.
All cells are produced from other cells
How does the lens of a light microscope work?
Each CONVEX lens bends light to make the object appear larger.
