Staining specimen with heavy metal salts (e.g. tungsten, molybdenum) allows you to see the specimen better with higher contrast when electron beam deflects off of your sample.

In transmission electron microscope electrons are transmitted through an ultrathin section of a specimen to form a digital image.  It necessary to stain the specimen with heavy metal salts to create a contrast such that various cell sub structures are easily visible. For example, DNA is stained with heavy salts such that it is easily visible against the background.

Which sample contains the most concentrated solution of hydrochloric acid (HCl)?
Leviafan [203]
The unit of concentration in all the data is M. That is molarity or number of moles of solute per liter of solution.

The amount of sample or volume does not varies the concentration of the solution.

Then you only must compare the molarities and the greater the molarity (moles/liter) the greater the concentration or the more is concentrated the solution.

In this case the order is 0.90 M < 1.00 M < 1.45 M < 2.00 M.

And so, we get to the conclusion that the option C. is the most concentrated solution: 800 mL of 2.00 HCl.
