An ecologist is examining a field with wild flowers. They want to know what types of pollinators carry the most pollen among flowers in the field. In order to determine how much pollen is being carried by each pollinator, the ecologist must examine the entire bodies of multiple organisms, before releasing them back into the wild flower field. What microscope would best assist the ecologist in this task?

An ecologist is studying Dunaliella salina a single celled algae in a local pond. The pond is
located near a construction site and the ecologist wants to know what affect, if any, the
construction site is having on the pond, as there has been a steady decline in the Dunaliella
salina population. In order to complete their study the ecologist would like to examine the
organelles inside Dunaliella salina.
If they would like to examine the inner structure of the chloroplasts of an already dead
Dunaliella salina, what microscope would be best suited for this task?
