List of Flashcards16 flashcards
  1. Card 1
    HintGood for observing the surface of small organisms.Memory TipThink 'dissecting' meaning 'taking apart', view is of surface.
  2. Card 2
    HintUsed for thinly sliced tissues and individual cells.Memory TipThink 'compound' meaning 'more powerful'.
  3. Card 3
    HintProvides much higher resolution than light microscopes.Memory TipElectrons are smaller than light waves, thus higher resolution.
  4. Card 4
    HintSimilar view to a dissecting microscope.Memory TipSEM = Surface, Electron, Micrograph
  5. Card 5
    HintUnlike light microscopy, viewing live specimens isn't possible.Memory TipPreparation harms the sample.
  6. Card 6
    HintMagnification reaches 1,000x.Memory TipCompound for greater magnification.
  7. Card 7
    HintObserve surface details.Memory TipDissecting shows the outside.
  8. Card 8
    HintSimilar to a dissecting microscope's capabilities.Memory TipSEM shows the cell surface.
  9. Card 9
    HintRequires the specimen to be very thin.Memory TipThe 'T' is TEM, think 'thin'.
  10. Card 10
    HintCapable of viewing bacteria.Memory TipHigh mag. like complex structures.
  11. Card 11
    HintUses electrons instead of light.Memory TipThink 'e' for electron.
  12. Card 12
    HintProvides a detailed surface scan.Memory TipRemember: SEM = Surface.
  13. Card 13
