Which of the following microscopes typically requires the use of vital dyes (like methylene blue) to visualize large subcellular structures in a living cell (like the nucleolus or the mitochondrion)?
the scanning/tunneling electron microscope (STEM), with good resolution up to about 100,000,000x
the transmission electron microscope (TEM), with good resolution up to about 100,000x
the scanning electron microscope (SEM), with good resolution up to about 1,000,000x
the compound light microscope, with good resolution up to about 1,500x
all of the above microscopes would be equally useful in visualizing the interior of organelles
What type of microscope would be best for studying the detailed structure of the surface of a plasma membrane?
light microscope
scanning electron microscope
transmission electron microscope
both a light microscope and an electron microscope
If you could not use a microscope, how would you determine whether a cell is prokaryotic or eukaryotic ? Assume the organism can be cultured easily in the laboratory.
