What kind of microscope would a scientist use to determine the shape of a cell?
CatherineMcGregor
A scientist would use a light microscope to determine the size and shape of a cell. A light microscope uses visible light to illuminate the object being viewed. Light microscopy is used to observe the overall size and shape of a cell. An electron microscope is used to observe the structure and contents of a cell, including membrane-bound organelles.

What type of microscope would scientists use to determine if a bacteria has a virus?
An extreamily powerful one
What kind of microscope can be used to study organelles?
A light microscope is sufficient to see the shape of the cell and it's nucleus. However to see the smaller organelles, you would want to use an electron microscope.
How would you be able to distinguish part of the organism using the microscope?
Using high power objective lense
What shape would the bacteria be if they are indeed Escherichia coli when viewed under a microscope?
E. coli is "rod" shaped, which is termed "bacillus" in microbiology.
What tool would a life scientist use to get a three dimensional image of a microscopic organism?
Well her are your choices. A. CT scan B. X ray C. Scanning electron microscope D. Magnifying lens The anwser is C. Scanning Electron Microscope
What would you call a scientist who examines the shape of the head to determine causes of human behavior?
A scientist who examines the shape of the head to determine causes of human behavior would likely be known as a phrenologist. Phrenology is a pseudoscience that suggests personality traits can be determined by studying the shape and features of the skull.
How do you determine the shapes and sizes of cells?
u would probably have to use a microscope grid under a cell for size. and for shape, just draw a picture of what you see through a microscope.
How would a forensic scientist determine if a bone is human?
size and shape mostly. Every body, from every animal, has a distinct design.
When would a scientist use a electron microscope?
when they want to see the inside of the cell.when you use a electron microscope the cell is going to die.
A scientist is interested in viewing the arrangement of silica molecules in quartz crystals what tools would best help the scientist during her research?
an electron microscope
If a scientist wanted to count how many bacterial cells were in a drop of a liquid sample which type of microscope would she most likely use?
Modern light microscope
What type of microscope would you need to see detailed images of an internal structure of a bacterium a light microscope or an electron microscope?
Bacteria are generally very small - so you would need an electron microscope to see them in any detail. Under a light microscope you would probably only be able to see the overall shape.
Which type of microscope would a scientist use to observe a living one celled organism?
A compound light microscope. This is so because if any other were to be used, the organism would die or have to be dead first.
A scientist needs to take a picture of the well-ordered arrangements of the atoms and molecules within a substance which of the following instruments would be best for the scientist to use?
An electron microscope.
Which instruments would best help the scientist determine the results of his study?
a balance
