Dust mites are microscopic bugs that are too small to see with a dissecting microscope. To see the details of a dust mite’s skin, which of the following microscopes would you use?
A. dissecting microscope
B. compound microscope
C. transmission electron microscope
D. scanning electron microscope
its D a scanning microscope would be used.
How is that right if the question just said it is too small to see with a dissecting microscope
thanxs
I figure, but it cant be dissecting microscope cause its said the dust might is too small for that
crystal is correct
To see the details of a dust mite's skin, you would need to use a microscope that can provide high-resolution images at the microscopic level. Both dissecting and compound microscopes are commonly used for general observations, but they may not have the necessary magnification and resolution to visualize the details of a dust mite's skin.
The correct answer is C. transmission electron microscope (TEM) or D. scanning electron microscope (SEM). These types of microscopes use beams of electrons instead of light to create detailed images of the specimen.
A transmission electron microscope (TEM) uses a beam of electrons transmitted through the sample to create an image. It can achieve extremely high magnification and resolution, allowing you to see the fine details of the dust mite's skin.
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) also uses a beam of electrons, but instead of transmitting through the sample, it scans the surface of the sample. This provides a 3D-like image with high resolution, allowing you to observe the surface features of the dust mite's skin.
In summary, to see the details of a dust mite's skin, you would use either a transmission electron microscope (TEM) or a scanning electron microscope (SEM).
