Question

How does the resolution of a specimen's image viewed under a compound light microscope compare to that of a scanning electron microscope?

Answer 1

Will medal (:

Answer 2

is this multiple choice or a written response

Answer 3

multiple choice
a. The resolution of the image depends on the specimen being viewed, not on the microscope being used.
b. A scanning electron microscope provides much better resolution than a compound light microscope.
c. A compound light microscope provides much better resolution than a scanning electron microscope.
d. The resolution is the same using either microscope; the microscopes differ only in magnification power.

Answer 4

k sry im watchin my baby brother. give me a sec and ill have an answer for yah

Answer 5

okay thanks (:

Answer 6

resolution depends on the wavelength of the light, the smaller the wavelength the higher the resolution. An electron microscope, although having a higher resolution, damages the cell. A light microscope having a lesser wavelenghth have lower resolution, you can relate this to the answer ;D

Answer 7

from another person
responding to the same question

Answer 8

in the answer choices it says nothing about wavelength. I saw that post too but i was confused.

Answer 9

ah ok ill research for you then
are you in FLVS?

Answer 10

Thanks and yes.

Answer 11

what module and subject

Answer 12

Module 1 and it's the module exam

Answer 13

what subject?

Answer 14

I thought the SEM provided better resolution, as it allows examination of much smaller objects.

Answer 15

biology
