Question

Which microscope would be MOST useful for examining the contours of the surface of a bacteria cell?. A)compound light microscope. B)binocular stereomicroscope. C)scanning electron microscope. D)transmission electron microscope.

Answer 1

I think the correct answer among the choices listed above is option C. It is the scanning electron microscope that would be most useful for examining the contours the surface of a bacterial cell.This type of microscope is an instrument for observing at the atomic level.Hope this answers the question.

Answer 2

The correct option is C.
Scanning electron microscope is a type of microscope that uses beams of electrons that are reflected to form images to scan the surfaces of mounted biological specimens. High resolution, three dimensional images can be obtained via the reflected beam of electrons. Thus, the electron scanning microscope is the perfect microscope for examining the contours on the surface of a bacterial cell.
