Scanning Electron Microscope

Question 4

Compound Light Microscope is a device that uses visible light and magnifying lenses to search tiny objects that are not visible to the naked eye, or finer detail than the naked eye allows. Samples you can use with this device is a leaf, bug, or feather, but it is very blurry and pale color. The microscope works by an eyepiece, ocular lens, the field of view, focus dials, supporting arm, rack stop, objective lenses, slides, cover slips, and many other things. It works by the light source is below the stage, and this light shines up through the thin specimen and then through the magnifying lenses. Prepared the specimen for viewing by placing it on a regular glass side. It can be stained with a dye that contract to nearly transparent

cells. Scanning Electron Microscope is used to view the surface of a specimen in a great detail of information. Some samples this device can use are a leaf, blood, or algae, but it looks like a 3-D Black and white specimen. This one works by an electron gun, specimen stage, Robinson detector, and an infrared camera. It works by looking or studying the small details and complex structures inside cells until the development of electron microscopes.

Question 5
The types of specimens I was able to view under each of the microscopes in the activity were leaves, bugs, feathers, blood, and algae.

The specimen's views were different every time because each of the microscopes had a different view of each object. Dissecting Microscope looks blurred looking and pale color. Compound Light Microscope looks blurry looking and grows differently when you change the zoom or size. Transmission Electron Microscope looks grayish (black and white) and shows a lot of the structure of the specimen. Scanning Electron Microscope looks like a 3-D black and white shaped specimen. A leaf under a dissecting microscope would be described as this if you zoom in and out, you would see blurry, clear, then blurry again and it was bright then pale colors. Blood under a compound light microscope would be described as this if you look at it, it would be a blur and sometimes clear shape depends on the zoom in or out. Algae under a transmission electron microscope would be described as this if you look at it, it would be grayish different look by the shape and detailed with the structure of the thing. A leaf under a scanning electron microscope would be described as this if you zoom in and out, you would see blurry 3-D black and white with lots of detail of the

sample.
