A/AS Level Biology Microscopes- types, pros, cons

An exceptional-quality booklet of clear, easy to understand notes on microscopes from the AS and A Level Biology ‘Cells’ topic, created in accordance with the AQA syllabus. The resource may also be suitable for other exam boards such as Edexcel and OCR.
The resource includes essential content from the A Level course, laid out in an intelligible and straightforward table.
I often found the A Level textbooks to be overwhelming and visually intense, so the resource was created to combat this.

The fact sheet discusses:

• Light Microscopes
• Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM)
• Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM)

Subheadings include:

• Preparation
• Operation
• Radiation
• Maximum magnification
• Resolving power
• Focus
• Image colour
• Image dimension
• Example of use
• Cost
