An optical light macroscope is connected to the same system. This provides a magnification range of 3-1500x. The lateral resolution is up to about 0.5µm. Optical microscopy/macroscopy and SEM, ...

almost as though they had been taken with a very high-magnification light-optical microscope. The reality is that TEM has less in common with light imaging than it may seem. There are several ...

1800s - the optical quality of lenses increased and the microscopes are similar to the ones we use today. Throughout their development, the magnification of light microscopes has increased ...
