Question
magnified up to 2,000x. ours at school only magnify 400x. can resolve objects 200 nm apart. this is 500 times better than the human eye. to 250,000x. can resolve objects that are 0.2 nm apart. this is 1000 times the resolving power of light microscopes. which microscope would be better at viewing a ribosome (~25 - 30 nanometers) 1 point light micorscope electron microscope which microscope do you think costs between $50,000 - $1,000,000? 1 point light microscope electron microscope see the first color images produced by an electron microscope freeze etching and fluorescence are two others techniques that have allowed
Ribosomes are very small (25 - 30 nanometers). Light microscopes have a lower resolving power and can only resolve objects 200 nm apart. Electron microscopes can resolve objects 0.2 nm apart, making them suitable for viewing ribosomes. Also, electron microscopes are more complex and expensive, often costing between $50,000 - $1,000,000, while light microscopes are less costly.
