Paper 1
Cells Structures & Processes (SB1)
Microscopes
Recall what an electron microscope is
An electron microscope has a higher resolution, it can see smaller subcellular structures, like
ribosomes, and magnification than a light microscope. It uses electron light beams.
Recall what is meant by an instrument’s resolution
The ability to distinguish between two points on an inch (the amount of detail).
