(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The type of microscope which is used to study the change in form of white blood cells.

Concept introduction: Microscopy is the use of microscope to see an object that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Light microscopy uses the light to view the specimen but, in electron microscopy, a beam of electron is used to view the specimen. With the help of light microscope, it can be possible to view different cell types, bacteria, algae, and fungi. Scanning electron microscope is used for topographical and compositional study of a sample.
