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.
How could you use a microscope to help determine whether the specimen is living or non-living thing?
wouldn't it be moving?
How can a microscope determine if the specimen is a living thing?
In a microscope some microorganisms may be checked if they are living or not e.g. Euglena , Paramecium etc. can easily be checked but Bacteria can't be checked , there are other methods for checking them .
Can the electron microscope be used to study a live specimen and why?
Not really. An electron microscope requires that the specimen be placed in a vacuum for viewing. It would most certainly kill any living creature placed inside it. No, the specimen being viewed is incapible of life after being placed into the slit.
Why are transmission positron microscopes and acoustic microscopes important tools for understanding how living cells function?
Because only the Transmission Position Microscopes and the Acoustic Microscopes are able to magnify living specimen while the Electron Microscope has the major disadvantage of only being able to magnify dried, frozen, and dead specimen. We also wouldn't be able to learn much about living cells.
What type of microscope can only be used to view nonliving specimen?
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.

How you could use a microscope determine whether the specimen is a living or non-living thing?
You can tell because it will show characteristics of a living or nonliving object.
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.
Uses lenses to magnify a specimen what can be used to view living cells is called?
A light microscope uses lens to see living cells.
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... :)
What safety measures you might take to avoid damaging the microscope microscope slide or a living specimen on your microscope stage?
1) When you pick up the microscope and walk with it, hold it with two hands. Use one to hold the arm and one to hold the base. 2) Always make sure your on the lowest magnification when using it and that the stage is all the way down 3) use a chem wipe to clean everything off.. dont worry too much about the microscope slides.. if its just a plain slide they are usually not too expensive 4) Move slowly and you'll be fine.. doing everything slowly also helps the experiment run better

What can be used to view living samples?
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
