 * POSTER - TYPES OF MICROSCOPES **

References: Heinemann Science Links VELS Edition Chp 8 (pp 190 – 193). You will need to search the web for other resources you can use to make your poster more graphic and interesting. Try [|www.unl.edu./CMRAcfem/em.htm]

There are four main types of microscope: **Compound microscopes, stereo or dissecting microscopes, transmission electron microscopes and scanning electron microscopes. ** Your task is to produce a poster that describes and explains each type of microscope. You should include the following information if you can find it all: 1. Who invented this type of microscope? 2. When was it invented? 3. What is it used for?

Remember that this is a poster – it should have more picture than words. Your poster should be no larger than A3 in size.

There is a Gallery of student electronic work at Microscope Poster Gallery
