Which of the following would be most appropriate method to observe the three-dimensional structure and organization of microvilli on an intestinal cell?
A) a hand lens (magnifying glass)
B) standard light microscopy
C) scanning electron microscopy
D) transmission electron microscopy

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scanning electron microscopy is the best choice as it provides a three-dimensional view of the surface structure of cells, which is ideal for observing microvilli. A hand lens and standard light microscopy do not provide the necessary magnification, and transmission electron microscopy would require thin sectioning of the cells, which may not accurately represent the true organization of the microvilli.
