It seems to have chopped off the last answer but I would think "Light microscopes can be used to observe live specimens, but preparing a specimen for electron microscopy would kill it." is the correct one. Next time it would be easier to read if you copied your question one sentence at a time, then there wouldn't be huge gaps and you could fit your whole question in :)
