Question
6 which type of microscope can produce three - dimensional images of a cells surface? (1pt) a compound light microscope b transmission electron microscope c scanning electron microscope d simple light microscope
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) uses a focused beam of high - energy electrons to generate a variety of signals at the surface of solid specimens. It can produce three - dimensional images of a sample's surface, which is useful for observing the topography of cells. A compound light microscope (A) and a simple light microscope (D) use light to view specimens and generally provide two - dimensional images. A transmission electron microscope (B) is used to observe the internal structures of thin - sectioned specimens, not the surface in three - dimensions.
