Which of the following microscopes typically requires the use of vital dyes (like methylene blue) to visualize large subcellular structures in a living cell (like the nucleolus or the mitochondrion)?
the scanning/tunneling electron microscope (STEM), with good resolution up to about 100,000,000x
the transmission electron microscope (TEM), with good resolution up to about 100,000x
the scanning electron microscope (SEM), with good resolution up to about 1,000,000x
the compound light microscope, with good resolution up to about 1,500x
all of the above microscopes would be equally useful in visualizing the interior of organelles
Read the following scenarios carefully and determine which type of microscope is the most applicable to use.
Karen is a scientist at a vast laboratory. She wants to evaluate the structural components of a plant cell, specifically the cell wall. Which is the best for her to use?
