GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The electrons make it possible to achieve a much higher level of magnification. Our instrument can acquire images in the magnification range from  20 to 100 000x.

Detailed explanation-2: -The low end of the magnification range for an SEM is typically on the order of 20X to 50X. The maximum magnification is generally determined by the size of the electron beam and can be as high as one million (10^6).

Detailed explanation-3: -They can magnify up to 2, 000, 000 times. However, electrons microscopes are much more expensive than light microscopes.

Detailed explanation-4: -A light microscope can magnify things up to 2000x, but an electron microscope can magnify between 1 and 50 million times depending on which type you use!

Detailed explanation-5: -In comparison, SEMs are capable of much greater magnification and higher resolution. The most sophisticated SEMs can achieve magnifications of around 100, 000 x and sub-nanometer resolutions, which are capable of imaging viruses (which are between 30 and 250 nm) and molecules such as proteins (10 nm) and glucose (1 nm).
