Magnification in the electron microscope can be varied
from hundreds to several hundred thousands of times.
This is done by varying the strength of the projector and
intermediate lenses. Not all lenses will necessarily be
used at lower magnifications.
Use
the controls to change the magnification, and note the change
in magnification of each lens, and how the size of the image
changes. The original object size is 0.4 µm.
At
a magnification of one million times how large is the area
of the specimen which you could see at one time on the 100 mm
square screen of the TEM?
