Which of the following does not describe the features of transmission electron microscope ?

  • A.Ultrathin sections are stained and observed
  • B.Intracellular organelles are observed
  • C.Three-dimensional image is observed
  • D.Two-dimensional image is observed

Answer: C

The feature that does not describe the TEM is a three-dimensional image.

In a transmission electron microscope the beam passes through ultrathin sections stained with heavy metals, giving a flat, two-dimensional projection image at high resolution in which intracellular organelles and membranes are clearly seen.

So ultrathin stained sections, visible organelles and two-dimensional images are all features of TEM. Images with a three-dimensional appearance come from the scanning electron microscope, which scans the surface of the specimen.
