Reorder the following steps to using a microscope properly:

• Place a coverslip on the stained sample

• Add a chemical stain

• Look at the sample using the lowest objective lens

• Place the prepared slide on the stage

• Put the sample on a slide

A student uses a microscope with an eyepiece lens magnification of 4x and objective lens magnification of 40x.

What is the total magnification of the microscope?

Electron microscopes have a higher magnification and ​ (a)   than light microscopes.

This means we can see the cells in higher ​ (b)   ​ with an electron microscope.

For example, sub-cellular structures such as the ​ (c)   can only be seen with an electron microscope.

One problem with the electron microscope is the image will be ​ (d)   . b

• resolution
• detail
• mitochondria
• black & white
• in colour
• nucleus
• quality
• clarity
