What does it look like when you look at the newspaper photo with an electron microscope at different levels of magnification?

An electron microscope is usually used to magnify things that are too small to be seen through a regular microscope. A news paper photo is printed with ink so the closer you get to it the more you would see the chemical composition of the ink, more so the texture. Some photos use pixelation meaning that the tiny dots that make up the picture would steadily get larger and farther apart the more you zoomed in until you were looking at the fibers of the paper or once again a very textural depiction of what ink is.

However for things such as lettering you would inevitably see the texture of the dried ink in a much more detailed perception, and you would notice that there are tiny absences of the ink, where it dried with a certain amount of pressure, air or a protrusion of the paper in some places leaving tiny circles, too small to see with the eye, where there is no ink at all.

There is certain terminology used when discussing microscopes. Ratio of the size seen in the microscope to the actual size of the specimen. On a compound microscope it is usually between 4x and 100x.

Resolution is the clarity and detail seen. It is the minimal distance between two points in which they can be seen separately (i.e. Field of view refers to how much you actually see when looking in a microscope.

As field of view increases, magnification decreases. Depth of field is the number of layers you see. Total magnification is the product of the objective lens and the ocular (10x).

Parfocal is a term used when describing compound microscopes. This means that the focus is maintained when changing the magnification. This way you don't have to re-focus when changing powers.

A dissection microscope is light illuminated. The image that appears is three dimensional. It is used for dissection to get a better look at the larger specimen.

You cannot see individual cells because it has a low magnification. A compound microscope is also light illuminated. The image seen with this type of microscope is two dimensional.

This microscope is the most commonly used. You can view individual cells, even living ones. It has high magnification (from 4x - 100x).

However, it has a low resolution. SEM use electron illumination. The image is seen in three dimension.

It has high magnification and high resolution. The specimen is coated in gold and the electrons bounce off to give you and exterior view of the specimen. The pictures are in black and white.

TEM is also electron illuminated. This gives a two dimensional view. Thin slices of specimen are obtained.

The electron beams pass through this. It has high magnification and high resolution. A compound microscope contains twelve basic parts.

The ocular is the eye piece. It is what you view through. It contains a lens of with a magnification of 10x.

The ocular is attached to the body. The body, also called the barrel, contains a mirror to view the image at an angel. The arm of the microscope is used as a handle when moving microscopes.

It extends from the body to the base (which I will discuss shortly). The nosepiece holds the objective lens and is attached to the body.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
