Question

Which microscope would best magnify the outer surface of a cell?

Answer 1

Answer:

A Scanning Electron microscope

Explanation:

A scanning electron micriscope beams focused rays of electrons at the outer surface of the cell get a very highly maginified and detailed image of the surface structures.  Some disadvantages include that the cell must be dead in order to be examined this way, and this type of microscope is very expensive compared to a light microscope.

Answer 2

Answer:

• In order to best magnify the outer surface of a cell, the much advanced form of microscope is used for the identification of more complex form of organelles or species.
• As, these organelles or cellular bodies are studied under the high tech form of microscope which is the scanning electron microscope. As, the scanning microscope directs the beam of electrons which will cast a number of particles on the surface of the cell, which on reflecting from it provides an image of that outer surface of the cell.
