Types of Microscope Quiz

Have a digital camera which is the detector and the image output device. The display of the image is done on a computer screen or monitor, defining the microscope’s digital scope. Typical magnification: about 10× to 1000×

• Digital Microscope

• Optical Microscope

• Electron Microscope

• Stereomicroscope

What is the full form of SEM?

• Scanning Electron Microscope

• Standard Emission Microscope

• Scanning Emission Microscope

• Super Electron Microscope

Uses visible light and two or more convex lenses to magnify specimens. Typical magnification range between 40x and 1000x.

• Compound Light Microscope

• Electron Microscope

• Stereomicroscope

• Digital Microscope

Is a type of microscope that uses polarized light to study the optical properties of materials such as crystals, fibers, and thin films. Typical magnification: about 40× to 400×

• Polarizing microscope

• Electron microscope

• Fluorescence microscope

• Confocal microscope

This microscope enables you to generate detailed, multicolor images with high contrast and resolution.
