Chapter 3, Problem 1RQ
Summary Introduction
To distinguish: The principle between light microscope and transmission electron microscope.
Introduction: A microscope is an instrument that is used to view the objects that are too small to be viewed with naked eyes. The components of the microscope are eyepiece, arm, base, illuminator, stage clips, nose piece, objective lens, and so on. There are two types of microscopes, namely, light microscope and electron microscope.
