On Friday 25th March 2016, we got an opportunity to visited IBS (Institute of Bioscience) to study, identify and also carry out on how they conducting an experiment under different types of microscope. There were various types of microscope used including :
- Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM)
- works like slide project : light transmit through slide, light passes through slide, light passes through as affected by structure and objects on slides (different intensity passes through), image enlarge on a viewing screen.
- usually used to observe internal structure of cell that is very thin layer and cross section.
- Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
- highly similar to TEM sample except sectioning
- fixed, dehydrated, mounting and coating
- usually used to observe surface structure of cell
Figure below shows some of the picture I took in our visit to IBS :
