Question

A microscope technique that allows you to see specific parts of living specimen is?

a. using stain under a light microscope
b. using a scanning electron microscope
c. passing light from a microscope through a pinhole
d. using a fluorescent substance with a specimen under a light microscope

Answer 1

almost all sample preparation techniques kill specimens. you are going to see nothing fluorescent under a light microscope, stains kill things, prep for electron microscopy kills things. What r u left with?

Answer 2

The microscope technique that would allow you to see specific parts of living specimen is the stain process. You will be able to visually see the different structures of a specimen. This is because the specimens are colorless, that you wouldn't be able to see the structure without a stain.

Hope that helps! n_n

Answer 3

But hector is right: stains which don't kill the specimen are few and far between. It says "living" in the info. Passing refracted light from the specimen through a pinhole is called "dark field microscopy"...

Answer 4

Staining is the easiest and best way for observing a specific part of living organisms.... With this you can also use fluorescent dye and phase contrast microscopy but in phase contrast observation of a living organism is not possible...... and in dark field microscope you can't see a specific part of an organism....
