Question
Chapter 4, Problem 13TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
The electron micrograph of a cell shows the cytoplasm packed with the rough endoplasmic reticulum membranes, the Golgi complex, and the mitochondria. The type of activities shown by the cell and the reason behind the requirement of a large number of the mitochondria for these activities.
Introduction:
The electron micrograph is the image obtained by the bombardment of the particular specimen with the focused beam of the electron with the help of the acceleration voltage under vacuum and it detects all the transmitted, secondary, backscattered and diffracted electrons. The characteristic X-rays are also detected by the microscope.
