Light microscopes achieve 500X magnification and 2 μm resolution (objective lens > ocular), while electron microscopes reach 250,000X magnification and 2-4 Å resolution.
Light microscopes have a resolution of 2 μm and magnification of 500X, with the objective lens having greater magnification. Electron microscopes offer a resolution of 2-4 Å and magnification of 250,000X.
| Front | Resolution and Magnification of the 2 types of Microsopes which lens has more magnification in compound microscope |
|---|---|
| Back | 1) Light/Compound Microscope: R = 2 μm M = 500X Objective lens > Ocular lens 2)Electron Microscope: R = 2-4 A M = 250,000X |
