high-resolution photography

For "high-resolution photography," photographic films were used but have been replaced by CCD cameras. Since the pixel size of the film is ~3 μm and that of the CCD camera is ~15 μm, the magnification for the film is 300,000 to 400,000× but that for the CCD camera is 600,000 to 1,000,000×. Photography at a low magnification is recommended from the view point of specimen drift.
