Specimens are Prepared for ________ Microscopy Using Electron-Dense Stains

Question

Specimens are prepared for ________ microscopy using electron-dense stains.
A) atomic probe
B) bright-field
C) confocal
D) transmission electron
E) scanning tunneling

Accepted Answer

Specimens are prepared for transmission electron microscopy using electron-dense stains, which allow for the visualization of the ultrastructure of the specimen at high magnifications. Atomic probe and scanning tunneling microscopy are both specialized forms of electron microscopy that do not require staining, while bright-field and confocal microscopy are both forms of light microscopy that do not use electrons.
