Roundworms are a member of the nemathelminths phylum or group of animals. The hookworm, pinworm and trichinella are part of this group. They are more advanced than flatworms but less advanced than earthworms. They have thin round bodies, with none of the pieces or segments that earthworms have in their bodies.

Roundworms live in salt water, fresh water and the soil. Many of them are harmful to man as they are parasites.

I hope this helped and wasn't too complicated.

What type of microscope would most likely be used to obtain an image of a live roundworm?

A light microscope would most likely be used to obtain an image of a live roundworm. This type of microscope allows for the observation of live specimens in their natural state, as it uses visible light to illuminate the sample. With appropriate staining techniques, a light microscope can enhance contrast and reveal details of the roundworm's anatomy. For higher resolution imaging of cellular structures, a fluorescence microscope could also be employed if specific markers are used.
