Bio principles Exam 2 – Brooks Latest Update Graded A+ Cytology the study of cells Robert Hooke - observed cork could float - discovered a honeycomb-like structure in a cork slice using a primitive compound microscope - only saw cell walls as this was dead tissue - coined the term "cell" for these individual compartments he saw Two types of microscopes: 1. Light Microscope 2. Electron Microscope Light Microscope - light is focused on specimen by a glass condenser lens -...

IB Biology 1.2 Latest Update Already Passed Resolution Resolution is defined as the shortest distance between two points that can be distinquished Explain why electron microscopes have a better resolution than light microscopes because the wavelength of the electrons is thousands of times smaller than the wavelength of light. Ultrastructure all the structures of a biological specimen that are at least 0.1 nm in their smallest dimension Something that electron microscopes can se...
