Question 2 Match the microscope type with the description. Uses stains to make structures visible Commonly magnifies up to 400x, but can magnify to 1000x with oil immersion Uses electrons to create a surface image of a specimen Uses electrons to provide details of the inner structure of a specimen Can be used to view living organisms transmission electron microscope scanning electron microscope light microscope

Step 1
Uses stains to make structures visible: This is a characteristic of light microscopes, as they use stains to enhance the contrast between different structures in the specimen. So, the answer for this is a light microscope. Show more…

This assignment has two parts: A and B. Please be sure you answer both questions. A) Transmission Electron Microscopy Samples prepared for transmission electron microscopy are embedded in an epoxy resin and sliced into ultrathin (100 nm) sections. The sections are usually stained with a heavy metal such as lead to enhance contrast. The sections are then examined with a transmission electron microscope. The photographs of these thin sections are put in order according to their position in the living cell and used to determine the shape of the original sample. B) Microscopes The following picture shows images taken on a bright field microscope, phase-contrast biological microscope, and dark field biological microscope. Which one is which? A) B)

Match each of the options above to the items below: multipurpose technique for live and preserved specimens; specimen is dark, field is white best for live, unstained specimens; specimen is bright, field is black specimen is contrasted against a gray background, well-suited to visualize intracellular structures provides detailed, high-contrast images of live specimens used to provide high-resolution images of internal structures of cells and viruses used to capture surface images of cells and viral particles
