A major breakthrough in the studies of cells came
with the development of electron microscope. This
is because
(a) the electron microscope is more powerful
than the light microscope as it uses a beam of
electrons which has wavelength much longer
than that of photons
(b) the resolving power of the electron microscope
is much higher than that of the light microscope
(c) the resolving power of the electron microscope
is 200 - 350 nm as compared to 0.1 - 0.2 nm for
the light microscope
(d) electron beam can pass through thick materials,
whereas light microscopy requires thin sections.
