Answer:  

A mutagen can be defined as the agent which can be physical or chemical that changes DNA of an organism in such a way that the frequency of mutation increases.

This does not means that all the mutations are caused by mutagens. There are many more reasons for the mutation to take place in the body.

The mutagens can be any physical or chemical agent which can affect the DNA. The x-rays, UV rays and some chemicals are mutagens that increases the chances of mutation in body.

ki77a [65]

The resolving power of the earliest electron microscopes was at least ten times higher than that of the light microscopes, mainly because the wavelength of electrons is much shorter than the wavelength of light.

The electron microscope uses a beam of accelerated electrons to magnify the object whereas the light microscope uses visible light for this purpose. Unlike the light microscope, the electron microscope uses electromagnets as lenses.

The magnification of the electron microscope is much higher as compared to the light microscope and it produces high-resolution images. However, the Specimen preparation of an electron microscope takes several days while the Specimen preparation of the light microscope takes only a few minutes.
