Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Wave nature of electrons.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The working of an electron microscope is based on the wave nature of electrons. According to de Broglie's hypothesis, moving electrons behave as waves. The wavelength of these electron waves is much smaller than that of visible light, which allows for a much higher resolving…
