MCQ
An electron microscope is superior to an optical microscope in terms of:
- ✓Having better resolving power
- BBeing easy to handle
- CLow cost
- DQuickness of observation
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Having better resolving power
The biggest advantage of an electron microscope over optical microscope is that they have a higher resolution and are therefore capable of a higher magnification $($up to $2$ million times $).$
However, optical microscopes show a useful magnification up to $1000−2000$ times. This is a limit imposed by the wavelength of light. Electron microscopes, therefore, allow for the visualization of structures that would normally be not visible by optical microscopy.
