Question

all of the following pertain to the fluorescence microscope except ______. multiple choice it is commonly used to diagnose certain infections it requires an ultraviolet radiation source it requires the use of dyes like acridine and fluorescein it uses electrons to produce a specimen image it is a type of compound microscope

Explanation:

• A fluorescence microscope uses light (including UV for excitation) and fluorescent dyes (like acridine, fluorescein) to visualize specimens, is a type of compound microscope, and is used in diagnosing infections (e.g., detecting microbial infections).
• Electron microscopes (like TEM, SEM) use electrons to produce images, while fluorescence microscopes use light. So the option "It uses electrons to produce a specimen image" does not pertain to a fluorescence microscope.

Answer:

D. It uses electrons to produce a specimen image
