microscopes

Question 1

magnification

Answer 1

The number of times larger the image is compared to the real size of the object

Question 2

resolution

Answer 2

measure of the ability to distinguish between 2 separate points (which are close together)

Question 3

magnification equation

Answer 3

size of image/actual size

Question 4

light microscope wavelength resolution and magnification

Answer 4

400-700nm, 200nm, 1500

Question 5

TEM wavelength resolution and magnification

Answer 5

0.005nm, 1nm, 250000

Question 6

SEM wavelength resolution and magnification

Answer 6

0.005nm, 10nm, 100000

Question 7

why can electron microscopes resolve much greater detail than a light microscope

Answer 7

they use electrons which have a shorter wavelength than visible light so smaller things are able to go through the wavelengths

Question 8

sem vs tem differences

Answer 8

tem in is inside set is surface
tem needs electrons to go through
see needs electrons to be reflected
