The list below contains the names of different types of microscopes that are used by scientists in a variety of fields.

compound microscope
transmission electron microscope
dissection microscope
scanning electron microscope
Which of the following microscopes require that specimens be non-living in order to be observed?


compound microscopes and dissection microscopes


scanning electron microscopes and dissection microscopes


compound microscopes and transmission electron microscopes


transmission electron microscopes and scanning electron microscope

Answer :

Answer:

transmission electron microscopes and scanning electron microscope

Explanation:

Microscopes are equipments used to amplify view of very minute specimens that cannot be seen with the naked eye. However, as stated in this question, different microscopes are used by scientists for various purposes. These microscopes include: compound microscope, transmission electron microscope, dissection microscope, scanning electron microscope etc.

- Dissection microscope and compound microscope are both types of light microscope that uses light source to view specimens. They both can be used to view life specimens.

- Contrarily, transmission electron microscopes and scanning electron microscope are both electron microscopes that uses beam of electrons to capture the image of a specimen. Specimens to be viewed under electron microscope are placed in a VACUUM, which causes the cells of the specimen to die.

Hence, transmission electron microscopes and scanning electron microscope can only view dead/non-living specimens.
