Microscope Types and Functions

What are the properties of a dissecting microscopes?

• View 3D images with light and view the surface of an organism

• View 2D images and internal structure of cells

• Uses electrons to view a specimens

• Has no illumination

What type of specimens do compound microscope view ?

• Inanimate objects like rocks and minerals.
• Large animals such as elephants and whales.
• Biological specimens such as cells, tissues, and microorganisms.
• Macroscopic structures like buildings and bridges.
