Study Notes
- The stage micrometer scale is divided into small divisions of 0.1.
- The length of the nucleus in a plant cell can be determined by replacing the stage micrometer scale with a slide of a plant cell.
- When using a light microscope with a magnification of ×40 to ×400, two structures that are 200 nm apart will appear to be closer together.
- Electron microscopes use electrons instead of light to observe specimens, allowing for higher resolving power and the ability to distinguish objects as close as 0.5 nm apart.
- Electron microscopes require a near-vacuum environment for optimal imaging, and specimens are coated with heavy ions to enhance contrast.
