Question 52

A scientist is examining a preserved sample of human muscle. The scientist wants to see fine detail inside the mitochondria and can use a light microscope or an electron microscope.

Which statement about this investigation is correct?

[1]
A

Use a light microscope because staining makes the inside of mitochondria clearly visible.

B

Use a light microscope because increasing its magnification will show more fine detail.

C

Use an electron microscope because its electron beam produces a natural-colour image.

D

Use an electron microscope because its higher resolution can separate points that are very close together.
