Cell Cycle and Cell DivisionHard
Question
A major break through in the studies of cells came with the development of electron microscope. This is because
Options
A.the resolving power of the electron microscope is 200-350 nm as compared to 0.1-0.2 for the light microscope
B.electron beam can pass through thick materials, whereas light microscopy required thin section
C.the electron microscope is more powerful than the light microscope as it a bean of electrons which has wavelength much longer than that of photons
D.The resolution power of the electron microscope is much higher than that of the light microscope
Solution
A major break through in the studies of cells came with the development of electron microscope. because The resolution power of the electron microscope is much higher than that of the light microscope As an average the resolving power of a light microscope is 0.25 μm - 0.3 μm whil of electronmicroscope, is 2-10A though theoritically, it is 0.25A. The magnification range of light microscope is 2000 - 4000 while of electron microscope is 100000 - 300000.
