An electron microscope with transmissionInstead of light, the transmission electron microscope makes use of electrons.
- The wavelength of light determines the scope of a light microscope.
Since electrons are used as the "light source" in TEMs, their significantly shorter wavelength allows for a thousand times greater resolution than that of a light microscope.
- The ability to get high magnifications has made the TEM an important instrument for research in the fields of medicine, biology, and materials. microscope with compound lights
- A microscope with multiple lenses and a separate light source
- The bonicular eyepieces have ocular lenses, and the rotating nosepiece is closer to the specimen and has objective lenses. In order to calculate the magnification power of a compound light microscope, the power of the objective lens must be multiplied by the eyepiece, which is typically 10x. The compound binocular microscope is now more often utilized, despite the fact that it can occasionally be found as monocular with only one ocular lens. Zacharias Jansen's 1595 invention of a compound microscope with collapsible tubes and a 9X magnification produced the first light microscope.
