Question

use the drop-down menus to match each phrase below with the type of microscope it describes. magnifies objects in steps is the type that was used to observe the first strands of dna contains a series of lenses includes magnifying glasses creates a digital image uses one lens for magnification x simple microscope compound light microscope electron microscope retry

Explanation:

• "magnifies objects in steps" and "contains a series of lenses": A compound light microscope uses multiple lenses (objective and ocular) to magnify in steps.
• "is the type that was used to observe the first strands of DNA" and "creates a digital image": Electron microscopes (like transmission electron microscopes) have high resolution and were used for DNA observation, and some create digital images.
• "includes magnifying glasses" and "uses one lens for magnification": A simple microscope uses a single lens (like a magnifying glass) for magnification.

Answer:

• "magnifies objects in steps" - compound light microscope
• "is the type that was used to observe the first strands of DNA" - electron microscope
• "contains a series of lenses" - compound light microscope
• "includes magnifying glasses" - simple microscope
• "creates a digital image" - electron microscope
• "uses one lens for magnification" - simple microscope
