3. infrared light is used to illuminate the object instead of visible light.
4. the microscope is in normal adjustment.

A major breakthrough in the studies of cells came with the development of an electron microscope. This is because:

1. the resolution power of the electron microscope is much higher than that of the light microscope.
2. the resolving power of the electron microscope is 200-350 nm compared to 0.1-0.2 nm for the light microscope.
3. electron beam can pass through thick materials, whereas light microscopy requires thin sections.
4. the electron microscope is more powerful than the light microscope as it uses a beam of electrons that has a wavelength much longer than that of photons.

Given below are two statements: 

Assertion (A): An electron microscope can achieve better resolving power than an optical microscope.
Reason (R): The de Broglie's wavelength of the electrons emitted from an electron gun is much less than the wavelength of visible light.
  
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. Both (A) and (R) are false.
