Question 32 • (Rogowski)WCA 4321 Environmental Science 1st 9 weeks 26-27

The greatest difference in magnifying power is between _______.

Answer
A
dissecting microscopes and compound light microscopes
B
transmission electron microscopes and dissecting microscopes
C
scanning electron microscopes and transmission electron microscopes
D
compound light microscopes and scanning electron microscopes

Explanation

A dissecting microscope has relatively low magnification, usually up to about 40×, while a transmission electron microscope can magnify specimens by hundreds of thousands of times or more. That creates a much greater difference in magnifying power than the other pairs. The correct choice is transmission electron microscopes and dissecting microscopes.
