Question
which types of microscopes produce a 3d image of the specimen?
select all correct options
dissecting microscope
transmission electron microscope
compound microscope
scanning electron microscope
A dissecting microscope (also known as a stereo microscope) is designed to provide a three - dimensional view of the specimen. It has two separate optical paths that create a sense of depth. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) also produces a 3D - like image. It works by scanning the surface of the specimen with a focused beam of electrons and detecting the secondary electrons emitted from the surface, which gives information about the topography (3D - like appearance) of the specimen. A transmission electron microscope (TEM) and a compound microscope (which is a type of light microscope) produce 2D images. TEM works by passing electrons through a thin section of the specimen, and compound microscopes use light to pass through the specimen (usually a thin slice) to form an image.
