Q. Which statement is incorrect?
a) TEM magnify objects up to Indian time
b) TEM produces two dimensional structures
c) SEM produces three dimensional structures
d) IEM produces three dimensional structures
Option (d) is the correct answer

Brief / Explanation

The incorrect statement is (a): “TEM magnifies objects up to Indian time.”

This is because the phrase “Indian time” is nonsensical in this context. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) doesn’t magnify based on time; it can magnify objects up to around 2 million times their size, not related to any time zone or temporal concept.

Now, addressing (d): “IEM produces three-dimensional structures” is correct if “IEM” stands for Immunoelectron Microscopy, a specialized technique used to visualize proteins or other components in biological samples. IEM can provide information on the spatial arrangement of molecules, leading to 3D visualization, though it’s primarily a labeling technique.

To clarify:

  • (b): TEM produces 2D images, as it transmits electrons through a thin specimen, showing internal structures in two dimensions.
  • (c): SEM produces 3D surface images by scanning a specimen with a focused electron beam, revealing surface topology.
  • (d): IEM, through immunolabeling, can offer insights into 3D molecular arrangements.
