Summary Introduction

To explain:

The reason as to why scanning tunneling microscope prevents the image production of living specimen.

Introduction:

Atomic force microscopes are capable of producing the image of living organisms, but scanning tunneling microscopes and electron microscopes lack this capacity because the specimen undergoes dehydration before being studied under microscope.

what are two advantages and disadvantages of electron microscopes?
What are the differences and similarities between Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Please explain in detail.
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
