Electron and Compound Microscopes

Focus light through lenses to make an image

• Magnifying glass
• Compound Microscope
• Electron Microscope

Uses 2 lenses to magnify the image

• Magnifying glass
• Compound Microscope
• Electron Microscope

These types of microscopes use light to see objects

• Magnifying glass
• Compound Microscope
• Electron Microscope

Magnification =

• Image size/Actual size
• Makes Images smaller
• Makes images bigger

Means smaller images made bigger

• Magnification
• Resolution

If this is higher, you can see more detail in the image

• Magnification
• Resolution

Uses beams of electrons to make an image

• Magnifying glass
• Compound Microscope
• Electron Microscope

All microscopes are easy to use

• true
• false

Compound microscopes can see better resolution compared to electron microscope

• true
• false

Compound microscopes have the best magnification

• true
• false
