Answer: Using an EM (electron microscope) you can look INSIDE a cell and take photos. This is different to an ordinary (or Light microscope) where you generally only see the outside of the cells - or at best can only see vague shapes inside the cell. Answer: The scanning electron microscope provides a number of advantages over an optical microscope. Primarily this centers around the fact that the wave lengths used are much smaller than the wavelengths of light. What you can see is, in par,t dependent on the relative size of the object and wavelength of the light you are using. For very small objects, like individual atoms, light just wont work. Secondly the electron microscope can be fitted out with equipment and analytical sensors to identify the atomic composition of materials in the field of view. These Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM) are extremely useful in identifying trace contaminants. The standard microscope still has advantages. It can detect the polarizing capacity of organic compounds, it is cheap and easy to use, it can be used in the analysis of stained samples in microbiology, it can use transmitted light and reflected light to examine an object. A major advantage is that the surface of the viewed object does not have to be prepared by being covered with a very thin layer of metal to permit viewing.
What else can I help you with?
Viruses can be observed using an?
microscope or for more detail an electron microscope
What is a microscope in science?
There is a compound light microscope, an scannignn electron microscope, and transmission electron microscope.
What are the various KINDS of a microscope?
Stereomicroscope, Compound Microscope, Phase-contrast microscope, electron microscope, Scanning-electron microscope, Transmission electron microscope, Confocal-scanning microscope. THESE ARE JUST SOME. :)
What types of microscopes?
The four main types of microscopes are the Light Microscope, Electron Microscope, the Transition electron microscope and Scanning electron microscope.
Which tool allows scientist to see atoms on the surface of a metal?
electron microscope owais.khaforu@yahoo.com
What major advantage does a transmission electron microscope have over a compound light microscope?
The Compund light microscope allows people to view living cells. With the electron light microscope peole can only view dead cells but with very high detail. The electron microscope is also much more expensive than a compound ligh microscope. The compound light microscope is also much easier to transport from place to place, as the electron microscope is not.

Which virus can be seen by light microscope?
None can. They have to be seen using a electron microscope.
The nucleus of a cell can be viewed through what kind of microscope?
An Electron Microscope is used to study the contents of a nucleus.
Which is the simplest the light miicroscope or the electron microscope?
light microscope is the simplest, in manufacturing and using
What type of microscope would be best to use to look at different cells or organelles?
scanning electron microscope
In what kind of microscope the specimen is coated with a thin film of a heavy metal usually gold then observed by using an electron beam that is directed down on the?
Scanning electron microscope (SEM) is the kind of microscope where the specimen is coated with a thin film of a heavy metal like gold and then observed using an electron beam that is directed down on it.
Give one advantage of a scanning electron microscope over a transmission electron microscope?
One advantage of a scanning electron microscope over a transmission electron microscope is that it provides detailed surface imaging with a greater depth of field, making it ideal for studying the topography and morphology of a sample.
Does using a scanning electron microscope kill specimen?
No, using a scanning electron microscope does not kill the specimen. The specimen is placed in a vacuum chamber during imaging, but this process does not kill the specimen.
What is the photograph taken from using an electron microscope called?
The image taken from an electron microscope is called an electron micrograph or simply a micrograph. It provides a highly detailed and magnified view of the specimen being studied.
