…… Microscopes
(It would be difficult to
study our cells and
bacteria cells if we could
not see them!!!)
The specimen scientists want to look at
determines the types of microscopes they will use.
Types of Microscopes:
1. Compound Light Microscope
- Uses light to view specimen
- Uses 2 lenses: ocular and
objective lenses to focus and
magnify specimen
- Used for viewing live or dead
thin specimens, can see a
single cell.
- Magnifies up to ~1000x

2. Stereoscope or Dissecting
Microscope
- Uses light to view specimen
- Gives a 3-D image
- Can be used to view larger
live or dead specimens
- Not capable of high
magnification

3. Electron Microscopes
- Uses a beam of electrons to
view specimen
- Capable of high magnifications
- Uses electromagnets to magnify
and focus image
- Can only view dead
specimens!!!!

-There are 2 types:
- SEM: Scanning Electron
Microscope
- Scans the surface of
the specimen
- Gives a 3-D image of
a whole specimen

- TEM: Transmission Electron
Microscope
- Sends a beam of
electrons through a
thin specimen.
- Gives a 2-D image
of internal cell parts.
