Between 1 nanometre and 1 micrometre (= 1000 nm).
1.85 x 10^-1 nm
I think the person you were talking to was meant to put "nm" wich means nothing much x
It is: 4.0*10^2 nm
0.278 nm = 0.000278 µm
The maximum resolution for a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is typically around 0.5 nanometers (nm) to 1 nm, depending on the specific instrument and its operational parameters. This allows SEMs to achieve high magnification and detailed imaging of samples at the nanoscale level.
The limit of resolution for a microscope can be calculated using the formula: Resolution = 0.61 * (wavelength of light) / Numerical Aperture. Given a numerical aperture of 0.85 and assuming a typical wavelength of 550 nm for visible light, the calculated resolution limit would be approximately 315 nm.
An electron microscope should be used to view a 50 nm virus. The high resolution and magnification capabilities of electron microscopes make them suitable for viewing objects at the nanometer scale, such as viruses.
An electron microscope would be most suitable for viewing a virus that is 50 nm in size. Electron microscopes use a beam of electrons to create high-resolution images, allowing for the visualization of tiny structures such as viruses.
An electron microscope is typically used to see details of a 300 nm virus as it provides higher resolution images compared to light microscopes. Transmission electron microscopes (TEM) and scanning electron microscopes (SEM) are common types used for this level of magnification.
No, ribosomes are too small to be resolved using a light microscope, even an up-to-date one. Ribosomes are typically around 20-30 nm in diameter, which is below the resolution limit of light microscopes (around 200 nm). To visualize ribosomes, electron microscopes are usually required due to their higher resolution capabilities.
TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) has the highest resolution among the options listed. It can achieve resolutions below 1 nm, allowing for detailed imaging of internal structures of samples. SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) has lower resolution but provides information on surface morphology, while dissecting and compound light microscopes have lower resolutions suitable for larger samples and whole organisms.
Up to about 750,000 times. Strictly, it is not magnification that matters with any microscope. There is no practical value in enlarging an image if the enlargement reveals no further detail, but just makes the blur bigger!The critical factor is resolution, which is a measure of the detail that can be discerned in the image. A transmission electron microscope (TEM) has, at best, a resolution of about 1 nm, which means that objects closer than 1 nanometer apart cannot be distinguished. This is about 100 times the best resolution available using a light microscope.
Cell receptors are typically membrane-bound proteins that span the cell membrane. They have a specific 3D structure that allows them to bind specific ligands or signaling molecules. However, their actual visualization using a light microscope may be limited due to their small size (~1-10 nm) and the resolution of the microscope.
Around 0.2micrometers or 200 nm
Because the smallest wavelength of visible light we can see is around 400 nm. Something 200 nm would need an electron microscope to be seen.
It uses an electron beam. An electron microscope is a type of microscope that uses an electron beam to magnify and illuminate a specimen. An electron microscope has greater resolving power than a light microscope and can reveal the structure of smaller objects because electrons have wavelengths about 100,000 times shorter than visible light photons. They can achieve better than 50 pm resolution and magnifications of up to about 10,000,000x whereas ordinary, non-confocal light microscopes are limited by diffraction to about 200 nm resolution and useful magnifications below 2000x.
