Which one of the following types of microscope gives the highest amount of magnification?
a. light microscope
b. electron microscope
c. simple microscope

The correct answer is b. Electron microscope.

Explanation:

Electron microscope uses a high-velocity beam of electrons that hits the object surface and the scattered electron is detected by the detector and it produces the image of the specimen which can be seen on the TV screen.

The magnification of the electron microscope is very high about 100,000X to 300,000X while the magnification of a light microscope is only about  500X to 1500X.

Electron microscope also have greater resolving power than light microscope so it is used to see the ultra-structures of cell which can not be seen under light or simple microscope. Therefore the right answer is b.

i'm sorry, but can you list the answers? i cannot with something i don't know the answers to

chris

the index of refraction of the second medium is higher. i just took the test trust me !
