A major breakthrough in the study of cells came with the development of electron microscope because:
- the resolution power of the electron microscope is much higher than that of the light microscope
- resolving power of the electron microscope is 200-350 nm as compared to 0.1-0.2 nm for the light microscope
- electron beam can pass through thick materials, whereas light microscopy requires thin sections
- electron microscope is more powerful than the light microscope as it uses a beam of electrons which has wavelength much longer than that of photons
Answer
(A) the resolution power of the electron microscope is much higher than that of the light microscope
