Question
Chapter 4, Problem 8SA
Summary Introduction
To answer:
To understand the scanning tunneling microscope requirements that prevent the live specimen image.
Introduction:
Scanning tunneling microscope is an instrument used for imaging the atomic level surfaces. It mainly works on the phenomenon called tunneling, where it passes a metallic probe, sharpened to the end in a single atom back and forth across the surface of the specimen.

what are two advantages and disadvantages of electron microscopes?
What are the differences and similarities between Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Please explain in detail.
Which of the following microscopes typically requires the use of vital dyes (like methylene blue) to visualize large subcellular structures in a living cell (like the nucleolus or the mitochondrion)?
the scanning/tunneling electron microscope (STEM), with good resolution up to about 100,000,000x
the transmission electron microscope (TEM), with good resolution up to about 100,000x
the scanning electron microscope (SEM), with good resolution up to about 1,000,000x
the compound light microscope, with good resolution up to about 1,500x
all of the above microscopes would be equally useful in visualizing the interior of organelles

- 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. At 100X you are unable to see the diatom. Explain why. Explain what correction (s) should be made to allow you to see the diatom using the 100X lens. 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.arrow_forwardWhat are the different magnifications of an ordinary light microscope?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding electron microscopy is FALSE?
