Question

1 multiple answer 1 point which of the following microscopes are suitable for live specimens? scanning electron transmission electron compound light stereo (dissecting)

Explanation:

1. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) use electron beams and require specimens to be in a vacuum, which kills live specimens, so they are not suitable.
2. Compound Light Microscope can be used with techniques (like phase - contrast or bright - field with appropriate preparation) to observe live specimens.
3. Stereo (dissecting) Microscope provides a 3D view and can be used to observe larger live specimens (e.g., insects, plant parts) as it uses visible light and does not harm live specimens in the same way electron microscopes do.

Answer:

C. Compound Light, D. Stereo (dissecting)
