Question

question 8 (1 point) what of the following describes an advantage of using a light microscope instead of an electron microscope? a light microscopes provide much higher resolution than electron microscopes, resulting in a clearer image. b light microscopes can be used to observe live specimens, but preparing a specimen for electron microscopy would kill it. c light microscopes have much higher magnification power than electron microscopes, as long as a high - resolution image is not needed. d light microscopes can be used to observe any type of object, but using an electron microscope to look at radioactive material would damage the microscope.

Explanation:

Light microscopes can observe live specimens. Electron microscopy requires a vacuum and preparation steps that kill specimens. So, being able to view live specimens is an advantage of light microscopes.

Answer:

b. Light microscopes can be used to observe live specimens, but preparing a specimen for electron microscopy would kill it.
