A biologist is studying kidney tubules in small mammals. She wants specifically to examine the juxtaposition of different types of cells in these structures. The cells in question can be distinguished by external shape, size, and 3-dimensional characteristics. Which would be the optimum method for her study?

Respuesta :

Answer: Scanning electron microscopy

Explanation:

A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is a kind of microscope which is used to produce the image of the sample by specifically scanning the entire surface of the object or specimen under consideration. It passes off a beam of electrons to scan the surface. The electrons basically interact with the atoms in the sample thus producing signals of topography as well as the composition of the sample. That is shape, size and three dimensional view.

Thus, according to the given situation, SEM is the ideal condition for the examination of the cells.
