2.1.1(F) the difference between magnification and resolution

What is magnification?

The number of times larger an image is than the actual object

Why is resolution limited in light micro

The wavelength of light limits it

As light passes it detracts and the closer the structure is to each other the more light waves overlap as they diffract

Why do electrons have a higher resolution?

Electrons have a smaller wavelength than visible light

The objects past which the Electrons travel can therefore be much closer together before the diffracted beams overlap

What is the difference in MAX RES FOR LIGHT AND ELECTRON

LIGHT = 200NM

ELE= O.5NM FOR TEM AND 3-10NM FOR SEM

What is the difference in mag for for light and electron

Light= x1500-2000

Electron more than 500 000

TEMS capable of higher mag than SEM due to higher resolution

What can ligh mic view and what can electron mic view

Light= view live or dead cells

Elec= only dead cells

What kind of cells. Can LIGH AND ELECTRON VIEW

LIGHT = whole cells +small organisms + tissues

Electron= organelles+ whole cells

How does
