Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The reason why the biologists use a light microscope instead of an electron microscope and the reason for not providing electron microscope to the students in introductory biology courses.
Introduction:
The objective of microscopes is to view objects and areas of objects which cannot be seen with the naked eye is known as microscopy. There are several types of microscopes, such as compound, stereo, digital microscope, and many more.

Uses a beam of electrons is transmitted through a specimen to form an image. Has more than one lens and its own light source. In this type of microscope, there are ocular lenses in the binocular eyepieces and objective lenses in a rotating nosepiece closer to the specimen. An optical imaging technique for increasing optical resolution and contrast of a micrograph by means of using a spatial pinhole to block out-of-focus light in image formation. Designed for low magnification observation of a sample, typically using light reflected from the surface of an object rather than transmitted through it.arrow_forward
- Read the following scenario and answer the questions below: Mary and Doug are lab partners in their Microbiology class. Mary missed class last week, so Doug is explaining to Mary what they learned last week during lab. This is what he said to Mary: “A compound light microscope has a series of lenses and uses light as the source of illumination to view a specimen. The light source for the microscope is called the diaphragm and the illuminator controls the amount of light that enters into the condenser. The condenser focuses light through the specimen. In a compound microscope, the objective lens and ocular lens magnify the object. Light passes from the ocular lens to the objective lens during magnification. The body tube holds the slide in position and the stage transmits the image from the objective lens to the ocular lens. The coarse and fine focusing knobs are used to focus the image of the specimen. We also learned how to calculate the total magnification of an object. Total…arrow_forwardYou are studying amoebas and paramecia, two different single-celled protozoans.
