Cellular Microscopy Techniques starts at 8 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Cellular Microscopy Techniques.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 11

Describe one advantage and one limitation of using electron microscopy in cell biology.
Describe one reason why oil immersion is used with high-power objective lenses in light microscopy.
Describe the principle of fluorescence microscopy.
Explain the main advantage of confocal microscopy over traditional fluorescence microscopy.
Explain the main difference between transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Explain why electron microscopes have higher resolving power than light microscopes.
Explain why it is important to start with the lowest magnification when focusing a specimen under a light microscope.
Explain why staining is often necessary in light microscopy.
