Microscopy

• Light microscopes use light to form an image of the specimen.
• Electron microscopes use electrons instead of light to form an image.
• Magnification= Image size/ actual size x 1000
• Standard form changes numbers with lots of zeros to more manageable numbers.
• Parts of a light microscope- eyepiece, coarse adjustment knob, fine adjustment knob, light, stage, high and low power objective lenses.
