Magnifying power of electron microscope as compared to eye is____________?

Correct answer: B. 250000X

  • A. 500 X
  • B. 250000X
  • C. 500000X
  • D. 250X

Explanation

An electron microscope can magnify objects to about 250,000 times the unaided eye, while also providing much greater resolution. The likely mistake is choosing 500,000X, which may represent an upper magnification figure for some instruments but is not the standard comparison used in this question.
