Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A transmission electron microscope is necessary to examine internal structures of cells, such as mitochondria, due to its high resolution and ability to penetrate through thin sections of tissue. Light microscopes, scanning electron microscopes, and fluorescence microscopes are not capable of providing the necessary level of detail for examining internal structures of cells.
