An ecologist is studying Dunaliella Salina a single celled algae in a local pond. The con is located near construction site in t
he Ecologist wants to know what effect if any the construction site is having on the pond as there has been a steady decline in the dunealiella Salina population. In order to complete their study the ecologist would like to examine the organelles inside dunaliella Salina. If they would like to examine the inner structure of the chloroplasts of an already dead dunaliella Salina, What microscope would best suit edfor this task?
<u>The microscope that would be best suited to study the inner structure of the chloroplast would be the electron microscope.</u>
<em>The electron microscope has a high magnifying property due to the fact that it uses a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination, unlike the light microscope that uses visible light. While the light microscope might be enough to see the inner portion and the organelles of the cell, the tiny nature of the inner structure of the chloroplast means that the light microscope will not be able to view the details. A more powerful microscope like the electron microscope would be required.</em>
