A new multicellular organism has been discovered, and scientists want to study the organism’s cell structures, including organelles. Which microscope should they use?

A transmission electron microscope can reveal the detailed internal structures of cells, including organelles. It provides much higher resolution than a compound light microscope, which is generally used to view whole cells or larger features. A scanning electron microscope shows surface details rather than internal organelles, and a simple microscope has limited magnification.
