Question

How does the resolution of a specimen’s image viewed under a compound light microscope compare to that of a scanning electron microscope?

The resolution of the image depends on the specimen being viewed, not on the microscope being used.

A scanning electron microscope provides much better resolution than a compound light microscope.

A compound light microscope provides much better resolution than a scanning electron microscope.

The resolution is the same using either microscope; the microscopes differ only in magnification power.

Answer 1

A scanning electron microscope provides much better resolution than a compound light microscope.

I thought it was just the magnification that was enhanced but this table a found says different .

ight Microscope:

1. The radiation source (source of illumination) is light, wavelength 400-700 nm.

2. Lens is made of glass.

3. Not affected by magnetic field.

4. Maximum magnification 1500-2000 times.

5. Resolving power 0.1-0.2 nm.

6. Image is coloured (natural colour of object is seen).

Electron Microscope:

1. Radiation source is electrons, wavelength about 0.005nm.

2. Lens is electromagnetic.

3. Affected by magnetic field.

4. Maximum magnification 1, 60,000 to 2, 50,000 times.

5. Resolving power 200-300 nm.

6. Image is black and white.
