A microscope that uses lenses and objectives to magnifying is the______

a. compound light microscpe
b. scanning electron microscope
c. transmission electron microscope {d} atomic force microscope

am I correct????

If I'm wrong please explain why and tell me the right answer and explain why that was the right answer. Please.

Thank You!!!

I can't tell that you answered it. If your answer is anything other than a it is not right.

The one is {}. Ok so it's not d then.

Why is it a. Please explain so I can understand.

Scan down to OPTICAL.

Yes, you are correct! The microscope that uses lenses and objectives to magnify is the compound light microscope (option a). This type of microscope works by passing a beam of light through a specimen to generate an image. The lenses and objectives within this microscope system help to magnify the image, allowing for the observation and study of small objects or living organisms.

The other options have different mechanisms of magnification. The scanning electron microscope (option b) uses a focused beam of electrons to create a highly detailed and magnified image of a specimen's surface. The transmission electron microscope (option c) uses electrons to pass through a thin, sectioned specimen to visualize its internal structures. Lastly, the atomic force microscope (option d) detects variations in force using a fine probe to create a topographic image of a sample's surface.

So, in this case, the compound light microscope (option a) is the correct answer because it specifically uses lenses and objectives for magnification.
