Question #1
Which of the following is used to visualize live cells?
A.   TEM
B.   SEM
C.   All of these
D.   Phase Contrast
Question #2
A compound light microscope allows clear visualization of objects no smaller than a:
A.   typical virus
B.   DNA molecule
C.   human cell
D.   four leaf clover
E.   small bacterium
Question #3
The transmission electron microscope has the greatest resolving power because it uses an electron beam to view the sample instead of a light beam. The electron beam is used because:
A.   Electrons do not penetrate the sample.
B.   Electrons are less invasive
C.   Electrons have shorter wavelengths than light waves
D.   Electrons have longer wavelengths than light waves
E.   Light waves are less visible.
Question #4
Phase Contrast microscopy is different than bright field microscopy because:
A.   Uses special lenses to distinguish between solid and liquid phases of the cell
B.   Uses special lenses to change the color of light passing through them.
C.   Uses filters in the objective to give contrast to parts of the cell with different thicknesses
D.   Continuously changes the phase of the incident light from the condenser to improve contrast in the specimen.
Question #5
Light of ____ wavelength typically will result in ____ resolving power.
A.   longer, better
B.   any, poor
C.   shorter, worse
D.   shorter, better
Question #6
The kind of electron microscope which is used to study internal structure of cells is:
A.   scanning electron microscope
B.   light microscope
C.   compound microscope
D.   transmission electron microscope
Question #7
A microscope that exposes specimens to ultraviolet light and forms an image with the light emitted at a different wavelength is called a __________ microscope.
A.   fluorescent
B.   phase contrast
C.   darkfield
D.   scanning electron
Question #8
Which of the following microscope types has the best contrast?
