Question

Electron microscope is more advantageous than light microscope because it

• A. Requires no light.
• B. Has higher magnification.
• C. Gives depth focus.
• D. Uses vacuum.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Has higher magnification.

Electron microscopes have certain advantages over optical microscopes: The biggest advantage is that they have a higher resolution and are therefore also able of a higher magnification (up to 2 million times). Light microscopes can show a useful magnification only up to 1000-2000 times.

Hence B is the correct option.
