7. Mr. Kwach presented his grade learners with a chart having microscopes shown below. Study them. a) Give two functions of a microscope • To magnify small objects, making them visible to the naked eye. • To resolve fine details of specimens, allowing differentiation between closely spaced structures. b) Identify the type of microscope represented by G: Light microscope (or Compound microscope) H: Electron microscope c) What does microscope H use for: i) Magnification: Electron beams and electromagnetic lenses ii) Resolution: Electron beams d) State any four differences between the microscopes G and H • Microscope G uses light as its source of illumination, while microscope H uses an electron beam. • Microscope G uses glass lenses, while microscope H uses electromagnetic lenses. • Microscope G has lower magnification (up to approximately 1500x), while microscope H has much higher magnification (up to millions of times). • Microscope G has lower resolution, while microscope H has much higher resolution. • Microscope G can view live or dead specimens, while microscope H can only view dead specimens in a vacuum. • Microscope G produces a color image viewed through an eyepiece, while microscope H produces a black and white image viewed on a screen.
