What are
Cells?
Cells
– Convex Lens
Compound Microscope
Magnification
• More than one lens
• Light passes through object
• Lens closest to object magnifies
object
• Lens close to eye further magnifies
the object.
• Total magnification equals the
magnification of both lenses
multiplied.
Resolution
• Sharpness of an image
Light Microscopes vs. Electron
Microscopes
• Light Microscopes use beams of light
• Electron Microscopes use beams of
electrons to produce magnifies
images.
• Because electrons are so small,
images of really small objects can be
seen.
– Electrons are smaller than atoms
– Atoms can not be seen, even with a
microscope
