Question
Chapter 4.2, Problem 1TC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The advantages of each kind of micrograph (light, TEM, and SEM) for visualizing the microscopic structure by comparing the given images.
Introduction: The human eye can see objects up to 0.1 millimeters. If the objects are smaller than this size, the human eye cannot resolve them; however, they can be visualized using microscopes. A microscope is a man-made instrument that is used to visualize objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eye.

discuss the relative advantages and disadvantages of light and electron microscopy. how could you best visualize (a) a living skin cell, (b) a yeast mitochondrion, (c) a bacterium, and (d) a microtubule?
What are the differences and similarities between Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Please explain in detail.
Assume you are observing the diatom pictured in Figure 1 using the 10X lens in a compound light microscope. You move to the 40X lens and then again to the 100X lens by only rotating the turret (remember that the lenses are parfocal), without making any other adjustments to the microscope.
c) After making your adjustments, you notice that the midline of the diatom is in focus while the remainder is blurry. Explain, based on microscopy principles, why this has occurred
Provide a description of the procedure to prepare an acidic stain of bacteria using Nigrosin as it would appear in the Methods section.
