Do you have a guess?

OpenStudy (zairahernandez):

A Transmission electron microscope would work very well for studying the surface of a cell. As for the other options.... they aren't really strong enough to analyze something as small as a cell, let alone individual proteins.

i was thinking it was the transmission

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so a TEM aims an electron beam through a sample. The more dense it is, the fewer electrons pass through. A SEM sends a beam of electrons over the surface of the sample material. This will cause other electrons to emit from the sample. SEM can reach a magnification up to 200,000 X For TEM that's to 1,000,000 X

so tht means its a transmission

transmission electron microscope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol ok ty peanut
