    1. Possible
      Annotations:
      - Not if specimen is alive
    2. simple colour stain
    3. specimen alive
  4. Inexpesive
2. Resolution
  1. 'The degree to which it is possible to distinguish between two objects very close together' (Higher resolution = Greater detail)
3. Magnification
  1. 'The degree to which a size of an image is larger than the object itself'
    1. Magnification= image size/object size

        Reflect electrons
      2. Specimen dead
  3. Expensive
~Be able to recognise and describe drawing and photographs of cell structures...This takes practise!!~
