Question

Which of the following statements about transmission electron microscopy is CORRECT?
A) Three-dimensional images are produced.
B) Lasers are used for visualization.
C) Up to 1,000,000X magnification may be achieved.
D) Living specimens may be used.
E) Stains can be applied to create a color image.

Accepted Answer

Transmission electron microscopy can achieve magnifications up to 1,000,000X. This technique uses electrons, not lasers, for visualization. It is not suitable for imaging living specimens, and stains are typically used to create contrast rather than color images. While some advanced techniques may allow for the reconstruction of 3D images, it is not a standard feature of transmission electron microscopy.
