Question

1. 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 a dissecting microscope
b a compound microscope
c a scanning electron microscope
d a transmission electron microscope

Explanation:

• A dissecting microscope has a single objective lens and creates a 3 - dimensional image.
• A compound microscope has multiple objective lenses, a light source below the specimen, creates a 2 - dimensional image, and can view both living and non - living specimens.
• A scanning electron microscope uses electrons and creates a 3 - dimensional image of the specimen's surface.
• A transmission electron microscope uses electrons and is mainly for viewing thin sections of non - living specimens.

Answer:

B. a compound microscope
