Question

The fluorescent microscope is used

• A. To localize cell structure such as chlorophyll stained with fluorochromes.
• B. To study living cells.
• C. To study smallest organelle.
• D. All of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is A To localize cell structure such as chlorophyll stained with fluorochromes.

The fluorescent microscope is used to localize cell structure such as chlorophyll stained with fluorochromes. It is based on the phenomena that when certain material is irradiated with the light of a specific wavelength, it emits energy detectable as visible light. The sample to be observed should itself be fluorescent or stained with fluorescent chemicals. This microscope has a filter that only passes radiation with the desired wavelength that matches the fluorescing sample.

Thus, the correct answer is A.
