5. [Ch. 3] Convert between metric size units of meters, centimeters, millimeters, microns, and nanometers. 6. Describe the basic differences between Light Microscopy (bright field, dark field, phase- contrast, and fluorescent) and Electron Microscopy (Transmission and Scanning EM). 7. Define and distinguish between magnification and resolution.

Step 1
Conversion between metric size units: 1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm) 1 centimeter (cm) = 10 millimeters (mm) 1 millimeter (mm) = 1000 micrometers (µm) or microns 1 micrometer (µm) = 1000 nanometers (nm) So, we can write the conversion factors Show more…

a) Discuss electron microscopy in detail. Discuss two types: transmission and scanning electron microscopy in detail. What are the differences and which substrate can be used for each? What is the theoretical difference between them? b) Which image belongs to transmission electron microscopy? Which one belongs to scanning electron microscopy? Do they both belong to the same type of electron microscopy?

A particle measures 0.30 µm (micrometers). Will you be able to view this sample with the microscope from the previous question (show your work)? Why or why not? Hint: The limit of resolution is in nanometers (nm) - you must convert!

1. Calculate the resolution for a good light microscope when the half-angle of the cone of light entering an oil-immersion objective lens, ̑, is 70°, and when the wavelength of the illumination light is 450 nm (blue light). Show your work below. Include units in your answer.
