Types of Microscopes
🔦 Light Microscopes (use visible light)
🔹 Simple Microscope
• Single lens
• Low magnification
• Example: magnifying glass
🔹 Compound Microscope
• Multiple lenses
• High magnification
• Used to observe cells and tissues
🔹 Stereo Microscope
• Produces 3D image
• Used for dissection
• Observes larger specimens
âš¡ Electron Microscopes (use electron beams)
🔹 TEM
• Transmission Electron Microscope
• Electrons pass through specimen
• Shows internal structures
🔹 SEM
• Scanning Electron Microscope
• Scans specimen surface
• Produces detailed 3D surface image
🔹 Fluorescence Microscope
• Uses fluorescent dyes
• Identifies specific cell parts
🔹 Phase Contrast Microscope
• Used for living cells
• No staining required
🔹 Confocal Microscope
Produces sharp images
Used in 3D imaging
Common in research laboratoriea
