The study of cells has been greatly advanced by the use of an electron microscope. This is primarily because:

  • A
    The resolving power of an electron microscope is $200-300 \ nm$,compared to $0.1-0.2 \ nm$ for a light microscope.
  • B
    Light microscopes require thin sections,whereas electron beams can pass through thick specimens.
  • C
    Electron beams have a longer wavelength than photons,making electron microscopes more powerful than light microscopes.
  • D
    The electron microscope has a much higher resolving power than a light microscope.
