II. Only electron that transmitted are seen
b) Scanning Electron Microscope

II. Only the reflected beam is observed
MAGNIFICATION AND RESOLUTION
1. Magnification- Number of times larger an image is compared with real size of the object
Magnification = size of image
Actual size of specimen
2. Resolution – the ability to distinguish between two separate points
MEASURING CELLS
1. Eye-piece graticule – transparent scale which placed in then microscope eye piece
2. Stage Micrometer Scale – miniature transparent ruler
3. Calibrating :
a) Check how much division on eye-piece graticule
b) Confirm the length of stage micrometer scale
c) Set the magnification
d) Measure the eye-piece graticule with stage micrometer scale under the microscope
e) Determine the value of each eye-piece graticule’s division
f) Determine size of specimen
ANIMAL CELL AND PLANT CELL UNDER MICROSCOPE
1. Features in common:
a) Surrounded by a very thin plasma membrane
b) Has nucleus
c) Has chromatin (mass of loosely coiled threads) – contains DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
d) Has nucleolus – made of loops of DNA
e) Has cytoplasm – aqueous material
f) Has mitochondria – carry out aerobic respiration
g) Has golgi apparatus- complex internal sorting and distribution system within the cell
2. Differences between animal and plant cells (under light microscope):

ULTRASTRUCTURE OF A PLANT CELL

DNA is not circular and its contained in a nucleus. The nucleus is surrounded by an envelope of two membranes

Cell wall sometimes present (plants)
TISSUES AND ORGANS
- Specialised cells show division of labour by being grouped into tissues
- Tissues may be further grouped into organs
- Organs grouped into system
1. Tissue
i. A collection of cells together with any intercellular secretion produced by them
ii. May be in the same type or mixed type of cells
2. Organ
i. A part of body which form structural and functional unit and its composed of more than one tissue
