Why is rapid fixation more important for transmission electr

Why is rapid fixation more important for transmission electron microscopy than light microscopy? a. because much higher resolution is available with TEM b. because TEM cannot view live tissue c. because TEM can provide 1,000 x higher magnification than LM d. because only thin sections can be viewed by LM

Solution

A is the answer because much higher resolution is available with transmission electron microscopy.

Explanation:

TEMs are capable of imaging of significantly higher resolution than light microscopes owing to the small de Broglie wavelength of electrons .

This enables the instrument user to examine the final detail as the small as a single column of atoms,which is thousands of times smaller than thE resolvable object in a light microscope .TEM forms a major analysis in a range of scientific fields in the physical,chemical,biological sciences. TEM is more important in cancer research , virology and material sciences.
