Scientists use different types of microscopes to observe objects that are not visible to the naked eye. a scientist is reviewing various samples of pond water to determine what species of microorganisms live in the pond. the scientist wishes to make drawings of the structure of each microorganism and study each one's method of movement. which of the following microscopes would be best for the scientist to use? a. transmission electron microscope
b. scanning electron microscope
c. compound light microscope
d. dissecting microscope

c. compound light microscope

Explanation:

Microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi and protozoa) can be observed through a compound light microscope, which allows to increase the observed image since 400 times to 1000 times (in more advanced microscopes). This kind of organisms have sizes in the order of micrometers (μm, a million times lesser than a meter), so you cannot observe them with a dissecting microscope, which only increase the image 10-30 times. In fact, dissecting microscopes are employed to observe thin sections of tissues (of plants and animals) and, as the name say it, to "dissect" in very tiny parts.

The other two microscopes, transmission electron and scanning electron microscopes, are used to observe macromolecules, and physical changes in compounds and matter, in the order of nanometers (nm, a thousand million times lesser than a meter).
