Questions and Answers

What is the main difference between a light microscope and an electron microscope?

  • Light microscopes are used for studying macroorganisms, while electron microscopes are used for studying microorganisms.
  • Light microscopes can observe subatomic particles, while electron microscopes cannot.
  • Light microscopes contain two lenses, while electron microscopes contain three lenses.
  • Light microscopes use visible or ultraviolet light, while electron microscopes use electron beams. (correct)

    • Why is the compound microscope called 'compound'?

  • Because it can observe subatomic particles.
  • Because it is mainly used for studying macroorganisms.
  • Because it uses both visible light and electron beams to illuminate specimens.
  • Because it contains two lenses: one in the eyepiece and one in the objective. (correct)

    • What is the function of the mechanical parts of the compound microscope?

  • To illuminate specimens
  • To support other parts of the microscope and adjust illuminating and magnifying parts (correct)
  • To study macroorganisms
  • To observe subatomic particles
