#1
Front (Question)

Magnification equation

Back (Answer)

Magnification = Image size / Actual size / I \ ——— M | A

#2
Front (Question)

Why does electron microscopes have higher resolution and magnification than light

Back (Answer)

The wavelength of electrons is short / smaller so their wavelength and magnification is higher OR light has a longer wavelength than electrons

#3
Front (Question)

Resolution

Back (Answer)

The ability to distinguish two adjacent objects as separate points

#4
Front (Question)

How does a Transmission Electron microscope work

Back (Answer)

It works by shooting a beam of electrons at a thin sample and detecting those electrons make it though to the other side

#5
Front (Question)

Transmission Electron microscope properties

Back (Answer)

High magnification and resolution See internal structure in detail No colour 2D Expensive Only dead cells in a vacuum

#6
Front (Question)

How does scanning electron microscope works

Back (Answer)

Uses BEAMS of electrons to reflect of the structures to develop a 3D Image

#7
Front (Question)

Scanning electron microscope properties

Back (Answer)

High magnification and resolution 3D image Detailed texture Expensive No internal features No need for thin section
