1. Simple optical microscope. One lens.
Disadvantage: Only Van Leeuwenhoek made them, and he's dead.
Advantage: Worked pretty well. With them, Van Leeuwenhoek discovered protozoa and bacteria.

2. Compound optical microscope. Has both an ocular and objective lens.
Disadvantage: limited resolution. Can resolve bacteria, but not smaller things like viruses.
Advantage: can be used with live specimens (using phase contrast or polarized or other special illumination).

3. Binocular dissecting microscope (optic). Has a pair of ocular and objective lenses, and supposedly presents a "3D" view of the specimen to the viewer (I was never able to see in 3D using these darn things).
Disadvantage: Limited magnification
Advantage: Can be used to perform surgery on small but not microscopic specimens, such as fruit flies. Is used in "microsurgery" in hospitals too.

Hope this helps buddy!

Answer:

The three types of specimens a dissecting microscope are as follows:

  1. Optical Microscopes.
  2. Electron Microscopes.
  3. Scanning Probe Microscopes.
  • Optical microscopes are the oldest and the simplest microscope it uses a single convex lens to enlarges the image placed under its focus.
  • Electron Microscope is used by scientists to study cell, this microscope fire beams of electrons on the subject which is held in the vacuum-sealed tubes.
  • Scanning probe microscopy is a powerful microscope, it can detect matters smaller than the nano-meter however its images have no color because it uses probe measure things other than visible light.

What are the evolutionary advantages of organisms that can photosynthesize?
AlladinOne [14]
<span>These organisms obtain energy and carbon from the physical environment and use it to produce their food. They make sugars and other compounds using sunlight as a source of energy and carbon dioxide as a carbon source. The evolutionary advantages for these organisms are the periodic renewal of atmospheric O2 for all living beings. The production of organic matter and food webs of any ecosystem. Without them, there is an extinction of all living organisms due to the non-renewal of atmospheric O2 and the excessive accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere.</span>
