Microscopes
Microscopes allow scientists to see what cannot be seen with the unaided eye.

Microscopes
Properties of Images
Magnification
Resolution
Chapter 3: Cell Structure Section 1: Looking at Cells
5
Microscopes
Magnification = the apparent increase in the size of the image
Chapter 3: Cell Structure Section 1: Looking at Cells
6
Microscopes
Resolution = the increase in visible details

Microscopes
Types of Microscopes
Compound light microscopes
Electron microscopes
Chapter 3: Cell Structure Section 1: Looking at Cells

Microscopes
Compound light microscopes use
1. Light reflected off of or passing through an object to produce an enlarged image.
Chapter 3: Cell Structure Section 1: Looking at Cells
10
Microscopes
2. Two kinds of lenses
• Ocular lens—lens set nearest the viewer’s eye
• Objective lenses—lenses nearest the specimen
Chapter 3: Cell Structure Section 1: Looking at Cells
11
Microscopes
Lens magnification is indicated by a number followed by X.
Chapter 3: Cell Structure Section 1: Looking at Cells
12
Microscopes
Total Magnification
• Calculated by multiplying the magnifications of the ocular and objective lenses.
Ocular magnification ……………10Xx Objective magnification………….40X Total magnification……………...400X
Chapter 3: Cell Structure Section 1: Looking at Cells
13
Microscopes
Light microscopes have limited use, practical magnification is limited to 1000X.
Chapter 3: Cell Structure Section 1: Looking at Cells
14
Microscopes
Electron microscopes
–Use a beam of electrons
–Produce images of very high magnification and resolution*
* up to 50 million X according to some sources
Chapter 3: Cell Structure Section 1: Looking at Cells
15
Microscopes
Electron microscopes
–Both electron beam and the specimen must be placed in a vacuum chamber, so living cells cannot be viewed.

Microscopes
Types of electron microscopes
Transmission (TEM)
Scanning (SEM)
Chapter 3: Cell Structure Section 1: Looking at Cells
17
Microscopes
Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM)
Reveals the fine details of a cell’s internal structure.
Chapter 3: Cell Structure Section 1: Looking at Cells
18
TEM micrograph
Chapter 3: Cell Structure Section 1: Looking at Cells
19
Microscopes
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
Produces three-dimensional images of cell surfaces

Guided Practice
1. What is the difference between magnification and resolution?– Magnification means to make an image larger,
while resolution refers to the sharpness of the image.
Chapter 3: Cell Structure Section 1: Looking at Cells
22
Guided Practice
2. Compare the magnifying power of a light microscope with the magnifying power of an electron microscope.
– Light microscopes can magnify objects up to 1000X. Electron microscopes can magnify an object up to 200 000X.

Guided Practice
3. What is the main advantage of the transmission electron microscope?– It shows a cell’s internal structure in fine detail.
