Question

The greatest difference in magnifying power is between _______. a. dissecting microscopes and compound light microscopes b. transmission electron microscopes and dissecting microscopes c. scanning electron microscopes and transmission electron microscopes d. compound light microscopes and scanning electron microscopes

Answer 1

transmission electron microscope and dissecting microscope.

Answer 2

Option d is the correct Answer. The greatest difference in magnifying power is between _ compound light microscopes and scanning electron microscopes______.

The magnifying power of a microscope is estimated by multiplication of its magnification at eyepiece ability and objective lens.

Suppose, if in a microscope a 10x powered eyepiece is used with an objective lens of 100x then the magnifying power of the microscope is calculated as 1000x.
