Which statement best explains why electron microscopes are able to resolve detailed sub-cellular structures, such as the cristae of mitochondria, that cannot be seen with standard light microscopes?

Electron microscopes have a higher resolving power because electron beams have a much shorter wavelength than visible light.

Electron microscopes use visible light with electromagnetic lenses to magnify specimens up to ×1500\times 1500×1500.

Electron microscopes allow scientists to view living, active organelles in real-time at very high magnifications.

Electron microscopes use glass lenses to focus electrons, resulting in a lower resolution but a higher magnification.
