Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The use of which of the following devices has given the modern biologist a better insight into the internal structure of cells.
A
Computer
B
Electron microscope
C
Spectrophotometer
D
Ultracentrifuge
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, scientists must use microscopes to study cells. Electron microscopes provide higher magnification, higher resolution, and more detail than light microscopes.

Detailed explanation-2: -A transmission electron microscope would be ideal for viewing the cell’s internal structures, because many of the internal structures have membranes that are not visible by the light microscope.

Detailed explanation-3: -The internal structure of cells is studied by transmission electron microscopy, which allows cell organelles to be visualised. Immunoelectron microscopy allows the localisation of molecules to specific parts of cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Two types of electron microscopy-transmission and scanning-are widely used to study cells. In principle, transmission electron microscopy is similar to the observation of stained cells with the bright-field light microscope.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fluorescence microscopy is most often used to detect specific proteins or other molecules in cells and tissues.
