Resolution of a Light Microscope?

Your definition of resolution is correct. Perhaps the question should read" if the light microscope's field of vision has a diameter of......" ?

1. why the light microscope is of limited value in studying cell organelles ?

Light microscopes do not have a high enough resolving power to see organelles. You need an electron microscope to see them clearly

2. I have a light microscope at home. Could you give me some ideas of interesting specimens to examine?

Colloidal male ***

3. What is the highest resolution a light microscope is capable of?

My biology class has about 410 at the most

4. are the plasma membranes in a plant cell hard to see underneath a light microscope? why?

It depends, if they are exposed to an hypotonic environment, a watery environment, then the plant cell will lock bulged and you wo not be able to see the cell membrane, same goes for an isotonic. However, in an hypertonic environment, a salty environment, the cell membrane will shrivel making it visible through a light scope

5. differences between light microscope and electron microscope...?

Resolution is the main difference but you can observe objects live with a microscope but they must be in a vacuum with an electron microscope. Electron microscope has by far the greater resolution.

6. What is the difference between the light microscope and the electron microscope?

You can view the image through the eye piece lens in a light microscope while an electron microscope,the image is viewed through a screen

7. Which of the following cell organelles ARE visible under a light microscope?

Only the nucleus because it is the largest organelle and a compound light microscope cannot see in very much detail

8. What does the term compound microscope mean?

t importance of contrast and how to determine total magnification of ocular and objective lenses.the light part of a microscope is called COMPOUND LIGHT MICROSCOPE

9. How do you change the resolution on a light microscope?

The max resolution is limited by the wavelength of light (if you are looking with your eye), to about 1000 - 1400 X. Old fashioned photographic film had higher resolution (the negatives had better res than prints) and digital cameras can have very high resolution. The quality of the lens is another issue. An old photographic "trick" for microscopes is to use a color filter, green typically, because a single wavelength of light is focused more sharply by the lens. hope this helps

10. Smallest visible unit of a light microscope?

Is this a biology question or a physics question? The limit of what can be resolved by a light microscope is limited only by the wavelength of the light you are using, assuming you have a very good microscope. Violet light is 400nm, so that is the absolute limit in size

11. Is it true that Rife's frequency cancer machine is useless without the 5000x natural light microscope showing?

The only thing it's rife with is BS

12. differnce between light microscope and electron microscope?

Electron microscopes have much greater resolving power than light microscopes that use electromagnetic radiation and can obtain much higher magnifications of up to 2 million times, while the best light microscopes are limited to magnifications of 2000 times. Both electron and light microscopes have resolution limitations, imposed by the wavelength of the radiation they use. The greater resolution and magnification of the electron microscope is because the wavelength of an electron, its de Broglie wavelength, is much smaller than that of a photon of visible light.

13. When was the light microscope invented?

This Site Might Help You. RE: When was the light microscope invented? And by who? And the stereo microscope?

14. define the resolving power of a light microscope.?

Define Light Microscope

15. Can you see chromosomes with a light microscope during meiosis? I know itu2019s possible when the chromosomes condense during mitosis, but I donu2019t know about during meiosis.

Yes, definitely. The chromosomes are condensed in meiosis just like in mitosis. Chromosome means 'colored body' because they were identified by cell staining techniques at the end of the 19th century.Cytologists who studied the movement of chromosomes during meiosis realized they behaved like Gregor Mendel's genes. This helped rediscover his laws and show that genes were located on chromosomes.Can you see chromosomes with a light microscope during meiosis? I know it's possible when the chromosomes condense during mitosis, but I don't know about during meiosis
