Electron microscopes can magnify very small detail with high resolving power. The electron microscope was invented by a German physicist named Ernst Ruska. Since Ruska introduced his invention to t Mon, 03 Jul 2006 15:55:11 -0400 http://www.prettygreatanswers.com/launch/03-07-2006What-are-electron-microscopes.htm http://www.prettygreatanswers.com/launch/03-07-2006What-are-electron-microscopes.htm A Compound Microscope is a microscope that consists essentially of two or more double convex lenses fixed in the two extremities of a hollow cylinder. The upper lens is the eyepiece and the lower lens lines in the objective. The cylinder is mounted upright on a screw device that permits it to be r Mon, 03 Jul 2006 15:55:11 -0400 http://www.prettygreatanswers.com/launch/03-07-2006What-are-compound-microscopes.htm http://www.prettygreatanswers.com/launch/03-07-2006What-are-compound-microscopes.htm A Stereo microscope is a lower-powered microscope that features a large stage for closer viewing of the non-microscopic world. This microscope makes tiny objects gigantic. This is also called the dissecting microscope. With stereo microscopes, tiny things become large.
