How did advances in technology influence the development of the microscope? Check all that apply.New technology allowed microscopes to become easier to transport from one laboratory to another.New technology allowed microscopes to make it easier to view things that had never been seen before, such as cells.New technology allowed microscopes to produce still images on a computer screen.New technology allowed microscopes to create realistic three-dimensional pictures.New technology allowed microscopes to map the atoms on the surface of an object.

Answer
A
New technology allowed microscopes to become easier to transport from one laboratory to another.
B
New technology allowed microscopes to make it easier to view things that had never been seen before, such as cells.
C
New technology allowed microscopes to produce still images on a computer screen.
D
New technology allowed microscopes to create realistic three-dimensional pictures.
E
New technology allowed microscopes to map the atoms on the surface of an object.

Explanation

Advances in microscopy let scientists see objects too small to view with older instruments, including cells. Digital microscopes can capture still images on a computer, some microscopes produce detailed three-dimensional images, and scanning probe microscopes can map atoms on a surface. Making microscopes easier to carry between laboratories is not a major way these advances expanded what microscopes can do.
