which microscopes are used to view living organisms?

• transmission electron microscopes and light compound microscopes
• transmission electron microscope and scanning electron microscopes
• dissecting microscopes and light compound microscopes
• light compound microscopes and scanning electron microscopes

Explanation:

To determine which microscopes view living organisms, recall: Electron microscopes (transmission/scanning) require vacuum, killing samples. Light compound microscopes and dissecting microscopes can be used on living specimens (dissecting for larger, light compound for smaller, thin slices or live cells in some cases). So the correct option is "Dissecting microscopes and light compound microscopes".

Answer:

Dissecting microscopes and light compound microscopes (the third option among the listed choices for Question 3)
