Question

How does the use of a scanning electron microscope differ from that of a transmission electron microscope? A. A scanning electron microscope can produce only a two-dimensional black and white image, while a transmission electron microscope can produce a three-dimensional color image. B. A scanning electron microscope can be used to study live specimens, while a transmission electron microscope would harm the specimens that are being viewed C. A scanning electron microscope can be used to study the details of a specimen’s surface, while a transmission electron microscope can be used to study the internal structures of a cell. D. A scanning electron microscope can produce images of specimens prepared in liquid, while a transmission electron microscope requires all water to be removed from specimens first.

Answer 1

D. A scanning electron microscope can produce images of specimens prepared in liquid, while a transmission electron microscope requires all water to be removed from specimens first.

Answer 2

Well, we know A is wrong because scanning electron microscope can produce a three-dimensional image. And B is wrong because both microscopes cant be used to study live specimens because of how strong they are so D is also wrong.

So your answer would be (C) or a scanning electron microscope can be used to study the details of a specimen’s surface, while a transmission electron microscope can be used to study the internal structures of a cell.
