Question

A microscope that uses visible light to observe specimens:

• A. Light microscope
• B. Electron microscope
• C. Probe microscope
• D. Confocal microscope

Hint:

Light microscope uses visible light, while electron microscope uses electron beams.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept:
Microscopes are instruments used to observe very small objects that cannot be seen clearly with the naked eye.

Step 1: Identify microscope using visible light.
A light microscope uses visible light and lenses to magnify specimens. \[ \text{Visible light} \rightarrow \text{Light microscope} \]

Step 2: Compare with electron microscope.
An electron microscope uses a beam of electrons, not visible light.

Step 3: Final answer.
Therefore, the microscope that uses visible light is the light microscope. \[ \therefore \text{Correct Answer is (A)} \]
