Sample illumination is achieved in different ways in a light and electron microscope.
In a light microscope, the sample is illuminates with light (photon energy)
In an electron microscope, the sample is illuminated by a beam of electrons.

Which two types of microscopes view objects that have been sliced and treated to improve contrast?
transmission electron
Which type of microscope can magnify objects up to a million times?
an electron microscope can magnify something up to 500,000 times
Electron microscopes use a beam of light to produce a magnified image?
An Electron Microscope uses electrons to magnify objects.
Which two types of microscopes view objects that have been sliced abd treated to improve contrast?
Transmission Electron Microscope and Compound Light Microscope
Which two microscopes view objects that have been sliced and treated to improve contrast?
sliced microscope and the treated microscope
When would you use an electron microscope?
when you need to magnify much smaller objects then optical microscopes
Light microscopes can magnify objects?
Yes, there are all kinds of microscopes. Everyone can magnify objects some just magnify more than others.
What the microscope can not do?
Microscopes cannot view viruses as viruses are smaller than the wavelength of visible light (about 0.2 microns). To view extremely tiny objects, scientists use electron microscopes. Electron microscopes use electron beams instead of light to magnify objects less than 1nm!
How do microscopes magnify objects?
they magnify every thing because their mikeroscopes
How many times can an electron microscope magnify?
what magnification is electron microscope capable of
What is the main difference between compound light microscopes and electron microscopes?
light microscopes direct light onto the slide and magnify it, light microscopes also have a high and low power objective lens which can magnify up to 10, 40, 43 and 100 times total magnification whilst electron microscopes shoot electrons at the slide which give more detail and accuracy but the disadvantage is it can't view objects in color. electron microscopes can magnify up to 500.000 times total magnification.Light microscopes aren't as strong as an electron microscope in respect to zooming power. The specimen can remain alive in light microscope but for electron microscopes, preparation of the slides will kill the specimen.

Which type of microscope can magnify objects up to a million times?
an electron microscope can magnify something up to 500,000 times
Do microscopes use mirrors to magnify objects?
No, they use lenses. :)
Electron microscopes use a beam of light to produce a magnified image?
An Electron Microscope uses electrons to magnify objects.
A microscope that can magnify up to 500 000 times is the?
A electron microscope uses a beam of electrons instead of light to magnify objects up to 500,000 times actual size. A electron microscope has much higher resolving power than light microscopes.
How are a microscope and a telescope different?
Both microscopes and telescopes use lenses to magnify objects. But, telescopes are large and collect light from stars and planets to magnify them, while microscopes are small, can sit on a desktop, get light from the room or a small builtin light and are used to magnify tiny objects.
