Chapter 2, Problem 3RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The differences in the appearance of eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells under the light microscope.
Introduction:
Microscopes are instruments that are used to observe the enlarged view of a section that is put under observation. The light microscope is a basic microscope with a single glass lens for magnification. Microscopes can effectively magnify the object or a section of the object up to many times.
