Question

In the microscope activity, you viewed some of the same specimens under multiple microscopes. Describe the differences in what you could see under each microscope.

Transmission electron microscope

Scanning electron microscope

Compound light microscope

Dissecting microscope

Answer 1

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a microscopy technique whereby a beam of electrons is transmitted through an ultra thin specimen, interacting with the specimen as it passes through.

A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is a type of electron microscope that images a sample by scanning it with a beam of electrons in a raster scan pattern.

Compound microscopes are a common tool found in classrooms and laboratories around the world.

A dissecting microscope is a microscope of a design which facilitates the magnification and examination of three dimensional objects, rather than samples prepared on slides.

so which one do you think is correct answer...
