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

A

The resolution power of the EM is much higher than that of light microscope

B

The resolving power of the EM is 200-350 nm as compared to 0.1-0.2 nm for the light microscope

C

Electron beam can pass through thick materials, whereas light microscopy requires thin sections

D

The EM is more powerful than the light microscope as it uses a beam of electrons which has wavelength much longer than that of protons.
