ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
What do we mean by resolution, or resolving power of microscopes?
UNDERSTANDINGS / APPLICATIONS / NATURE OF SCIENCE
1.2.NOS: Developments in scientific research follows improvements in apparatus- the invention of the electron microscopes led to greater understanding of cell structure .
1.2.U4 Electron microscopes have a much higher resolution than light microscopes.
1.1.S2: Drawing cell structures as seen with the light microscope.
1.1.S1: Use of a light microscope to investigate the structure of cells and tissues, with drawing of cells. Calculation of the magnification of drawings and the actual size of structures and ultrastructures shown in drawings or micrographs. (Practical 1)
1.1.S3: Calculation of the magnification of drawings and the actual size of structures and ultrastructures shown in drawings or micrographs
