Living Organisms Consist of Cells State the resolution and magnification that can be achieved by a light microscope Explain the difference between magnification and resolution Explain the need for staining samples in light microscopy
Resolution and Magnification Car Headlights from far awayCar Headlights Close-Up
Define the Following Terms Magnification Resolution
Light Microscope Number of lenses used to produce an image Light passes from the bulb (or mirror) under the stage through a condenser lens and then through the specimen The light beam is focused through the objective lens then the eyepiece lens
How do you calculate the magnification power of a light microscope? Eyepiece lens magnification x Objective lens magnification The max magnification of a light microscope is x1500 The max resolution of a light microscope is 200nm

Optical microscope image of blood cell smear.
SEM image of red blood cells.
TEM image of a thin section of a blood vessel. A white blood cell is entering the tissue between two epithelial cells.
