The condition which is most likely to cause death of a botulism patient is Respiratory failure.
Explanation:
The causal organism of Botulism is the bacteria <em>Clostridium botulinum.</em>
It is usually found in canned food and causes a very severe food poisoning.
The bacteria release botulinum toxin on reaching the intestine of the person and from their the toxins are absorbed into the blood.
Botulism mainly effects the neuromuscular system of the body. .
The basic symptoms of botulism is characterised by weaknes in limbs , jaws and eyes.
A decreased muscular activity sometimes causes constipation due to slowed down peristalsis.
Sometimes nausea , vomiting and diarrhea may occur.
If left untreated and in severe cases, the toxins may proceed to effect the respiratory muscle thus hindering the proper breathing and gaseous exchange.
A further damage could result in the respiratory failure.

Answer:
There is a great difference between light and scanning electron microscope. The source of illumination is light rays in light microscope while in scanning electron microscope electrons are the source of illumination.
The resolving and magnification power of scanning electron microscope is much greater than that of a light microscope. The magnifying power of a light microscope is 1000X and of electron microscope is 10,00,000X.
In light microscope image is seen through the eyepiece while in scanning electron microscope it is seen on a fluorescent screen. Even small specimens up to 0.1 micrometers can be seen by scanning electron microscope which is not possible to see by light microscope.
