  • light microscopes
    use light and lenses to form an image of a specimen and magnify it. they let us see individual cells and large sub cellular structures like nuclei
  • electron microscopes
    use electrons to form an image. higher magnification. higher resolution - gives sharper image. allows to see much smaller things in detail
  • magnification formula
    magnification =magnification\ = image sizereal size\ \frac{image\ size}{real\ size}
