• Properties of light limit magnification/resolution to 2000X
Brightfield (compound light) microscope• Most common• Field of view is bright; specimen is darker• Least expensive• Requires staining of specimens usually• Staining requires killing organisms

Meningitis-causing bacteria. The tiny yellow dots are Neisseria meningitidis bacteria living inside human airway cells. Although they live in the noses and throats of many people without leading to disease, if they break through into the bloodstream they can cause potentially fatal meningitis and septicemia.

Electron MicroscopesBeware of artifactsStaining techniques require expertise and $$$Dehydration of specimenPlacing specimen under vacuum
Transmission electron microscope (TEM)Magnify 10,000-up to 500,000XView sections of organismCan see inside viruses/cells
Scanning electron microscope (SEM)Magnify 1,000-10,000XSee 3D image of structure

This negative-stained transmission electron micrograph (TEM) depicts the ultrastructural details of an influenza virus particle, or “virion”. A member of the taxonomic family Orthomyxoviridae, the influenza virus is a single-stranded RNA virus.
