Question

question 1 - 5
which of the following microscopes contains multiple objective lenses, creates a 2 - dimensional image of the specimen being viewed, has a light source located below the specimen, and can be used to view both living and non - living specimens?
○ a dissecting microscope
○ a compound microscope
○ a scanning electron microscope
○ a transmission electron microscope

Explanation:

• A dissecting microscope has a single objective lens and creates a 3 - D image.
• A scanning electron microscope uses electrons instead of light and creates a 3 - D image of the specimen's surface.
• A transmission electron microscope also uses electrons and is mainly for thin sections of non - living specimens.
• A compound microscope has multiple objective lenses, creates a 2 - D image, has a light source below the specimen, and can be used for both living (e.g., with proper preparation like a wet mount) and non - living specimens.

Answer:

B. a compound microscope
