Microscopes

• how have microcopy techniques developed

  • they have helped us to increase our understanding of subcellular structures
  • their design has improved magnifacation and resolution over time
• what are light microscopes

  • use light and lenses to magnify
  • low resolution
  • low magnifacation
• what are electrol microscopes

  • use electron beams
  • high magnifacation
  • high resolution
• what is equation

  magnifacation = image/actual
