Which of the following best explains how a dissecting microscope differs from a compound light microscope? a. a compound light microscope has much greater magnification power than a dissecting microscope. b. unlike a compound light microscope, a dissecting microscope does not require a light source. c. unlike a dissecting microscope, a compound light microscope can produce a three-dimensional image. d. a dissecting microscope has much greater resolution than a compound light microscope.

The answer is : A compound light microscope has much greater magnification power than a dissecting microscope. Compound Microscopes have greater magnifications, but lower resolutions than the Dissecting microscopes. Compound light microscopes are usually used to view things that are too little to see with the naked eye.

The correct answer is option A, that is, a compound light microscope has much greater magnification power in comparison to a dissecting microscope.  

In the dissecting microscope, each eye possesses its own objective, so that the three-dimensional objects can be observed as three-dimensional, on the other hand, the compound microscope exhibits two oculars, but only one objective for both the eyes. A compound microscope has lower resolutions, but greater magnifications than the dissecting microscopes.
