electron microscopy
Electron Microscopy An Electron Microscope was developed in the 1930s to achieve a higher magnification and a higher resolution than a light microscope. ... An Electron Microscope compared with a light microscope. ... 2 µm; the resolution of an Electron Microscope is 0. ... Since resolution is inversely related to wavelength the resolution will be higher in the Electron Microscope. The highest magnification of the light microscope is 1500 times; the highest magnification of an Electron Microscope is 500,000 times. This shows a clear advantage to a light microscope, as we are able to see more detailed images using an Electron Microscope. For example below is an electron micrograph showing a close-up of the Cecropia Moth scale. ... An Electron Microscope is a lot larger than a light microscope.
