Dissecting microscope (Stereo or stereoscopic microscope)

by
Labeled Dissecting microscope (Stereo or stereoscopic microscope)

Dissecting microscope (Stereo microscope) These are also known as stereoscopic microscopes. This is a type of digital optical microscope designed with a low magnification power (5x-250x), by use of light reflected from the surface of the specimen, and not the light reflected the specimen. Its primary role is for dissection of specimens and viewing and … Read more Dissecting microscope (Stereo or stereoscopic microscope)

Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM)

by
Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM)

Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) definition This is a powerful electron microscope that uses a beam of electrons to focus on a specimen producing a highly magnified and detailed image of the specimen. The magnification power is over 2 million times better than that of the light microscope, producing the image of the specimen which enables … Read more Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM)

Atomic Force Microscope (AFM)

by
Atomic Force Microscope (AFM)

Definition The atomic force microscope (AFM) is a type of scanning probe microscope whose primary roles include measuring properties such as magnetism, height, friction. The resolution is measured in a nanometer, which is much more accurate and effective than the optical diffraction limit. It uses a probe for measuring and collection of data involves touching … Read more Atomic Force Microscope (AFM)
