• An Overview of Types, Working Principles, and
Applications
• Presented by: [Your Name]

2. Introduction
• Microscopes are instruments used to view
objects too small to be seen by the naked eye.
• They are essential in biology, materials
science, and medical research.

3. Types of Microscopes
• 1. Optical (Light) Microscopes
• 2. Electron Microscopes (SEM, TEM)
• 3. Scanning Probe Microscopes (AFM, STM)
• 4. Fluorescence Microscopes

4. Optical Microscope
• • Uses visible light and lenses to magnify
images.
• • Common types: Compound and Stereo
Microscopes
• • Used in biology and medical labs.

5. Electron Microscopes
• • Use electron beams instead of light.
• • Types:
• - SEM: Scans surface with electron beam
• - TEM: Transmits electrons through
specimen
• • High resolution and magnification

6. Scanning Probe Microscopes
• • Use physical probe to scan surface at atomic
level
• • Types:
• - AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy)
• - STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscopy)

7. Key Components
• • Eyepiece and Objective Lenses
• • Light Source or Electron Gun
• • Stage for sample placement
• • Focus and magnification controls

8. Applications of Microscopes
• • Cell and tissue analysis
• • Microstructure of materials
• • Nanotechnology
• • Medical diagnostics

9. Advantages & Limitations
• Advantages:
• • Detailed visualization
• • High magnification and resolution
• Limitations:
• • Sample preparation required
• • Cost and complexity (for advanced types)

10. Conclusion
• Microscopes are vital tools in science and
industry, offering insights into the microscopic
world.
