Which type of microscope allows the viewing of living cells?
scanning tunneling electron microscope, or STM
Is an electron microscope used to magnify a living specimen?
An EM is basically of 2 types. Scanning Electron Microscope and Transmission Electron Microscope. Yes definitely it is used to magnify and resolve specimens but a living specimen cannot be used. Only dead are used. This is due to certain disadvantages that come along with this microscope. If need further details over the microscope uses and types then let me know.yea...i completely agree wif yuh... :)
Which type of microscope would be best to use if you wanted to look at a nucleus inside a living cell?
A Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).
What kind of microscope is used to view living specimens?
a TEM (transmission Electron Microscope) shoots electrons through the specimen and shows internal features of the cella SEM (scanning electron microscope) Electrons bounce off of the surface of the specimen, and show a 3d image of the surface on the specimen.a STEM (scanning tunneling electron microscope) uses a needle like probe shoots electrons from the inside out, shows 3D surface image CAN be used on living specimens
What type of microscopy does not use light?
Electron microscopy; Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM). The vacuum required for electron microscopy to work correctly precludes the observation of living organisms. Biological samples must be dried then coated with a conductive metal.
What microscope provides the greatest magnification of preserved living specimens?
Transmission electron microscope
Why are scvientists unable to view living specimens with an electron microscope?
because not
Which type of microscope allows the viewing of living cells?
scanning tunneling electron microscope, or STM
What are the Kinds of microscopes and their uses?
There there are many. Simple microscope, compound microscope, light microscope, scanning electron microscope, TEMicroscope, Dissection microscope, etc and most of them are used to see small cells that cannot be seen by the naked eye.

Which type of microscope can observe non-living cells?
A tunneling electron microscope cannot image live specimens.

What is an electron microscope also named?
According to the Encyclopdia Britannica, there are many kinds of electron microscopes:"The transmission electron microscope (TEM) can image specimens up to 1 micrometre in thickness. High-voltage electron microscopes are similar to TEMs but work at much higher voltages. The scanning electron microscope (SEM), in which a beam of electrons is scanned over the surface of a solid object, is used to build up an image of the details of the surface structure. The environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) can generate a scanned image of a specimen in an atmosphere, unlike the SEM, and is amenable to the study of moist specimens, including some living organisms.Combinations of techniques have given rise to the scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), which combines the methods of TEM and SEM, and the electron-probe microanalyzer, or microprobe analyzer, which allows a chemical analysis of the composition of materials to be made using the incident electron beam to excite the emission of characteristic X-rays by the chemical elements in the specimen."More information about electron microscopes may be found on the Encyclopedia Britannica's website:http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/183561/electron-microscope
Why might a microscopist who specializes in the use of microscopes to examine specimens use a light microscope instead of an electron microscope?
An electron microscope requires that the subject be dead to function. In order to receive a picture, the specimen must be coated in chemicals and put into a vacuum, a process which will kill any living specimen. A light microscope, although not as detailed, will allow the scientist to observe living specimens.
What type of microscope can be used to view non living specimens?
The light microscope and the electron microscope refers to the type of microscope that is used to view the non- living specimen. The non-living specimen is usually placed in a slide.
